Strawberry Banana Smoothie Recipe

Strawberry Banana Smoothie Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 banana (fresh or frozen)

• 1 cup strawberries (fresh or frozen)

• 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)

• 1/2 cup milk (any kind – dairy or plant-based like almond, oat, or soy)

• 1–2 teaspoons honey or maple syrup (optional, depending on sweetness preference)

• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional, for flavor depth)

• 1/2 cup ice cubes (optional, if using fresh fruit and you want it colder/thicker)

Toppings (Optional, as seen in image):

• Banana slices

• Granola

• Chopped nuts or cacao nibs

Instructions:

1. Prepare fruit: Peel the banana and hull the strawberries if they’re fresh. Frozen fruit works great and adds thickness.

2. Blend ingredients: Add the banana, strawberries, Greek yogurt, milk, sweetener (if using), vanilla, and ice (if desired) into a blender.

3. Blend until smooth: Blend on high until the mixture is creamy and smooth. Scrape down the sides if needed and blend again briefly.

4. Taste and adjust: Taste the smoothie and add more sweetener or milk as needed.

5. Serve: Pour the smoothie into a glass.

6. Top it off: Garnish with banana slices, a sprinkle of granola, and chopped nuts or cacao nibs.
