Strawberry Banana Smoothie Ingredients
- Fresh Strawberries
- Frozen Banana
- Plain Greek Yogurt – You can also use plain yogurt, strawberry yogurt, or vanilla Greek yogurt.
- Milk – I like to use whole milk, but you can use any kind you like.
How to Make It
- Prep your fruit – Hull the strawberries and peel and slice or quarter your banana before freezing it. (You can freeze banana slices in advance for easy smoothie prep.)
- Blend it up – Add all the ingredients to a blender: milk, yogurt, strawberries, and bananas. I like to put the liquids at the bottom to make it easier to blend.
- Blend until smooth – This usually takes 30–60 seconds, depending on your blender. Add more milk for a thinner consistency if desired.
- Serve right away – Pour into glasses and enjoy!
Storage
Store any leftovers in the fridge and shake well to combine before drinking again.
Optional Add-Ins & Substitutions
Need a little extra boost or working around dietary needs? Try these ideas:
- Dairy-Free? Use almond milk, oat milk, soy milk, coconut milk, or any plant-based yogurt alternative. (The same applies to the milk – swap the dairy milk for your favorite type of milk!)
- Add Protein – A scoop of collagen peptides or your favorite protein powder mixes in easily.
- Nutrient Boost – Toss in a tablespoon of flax seeds, chia seeds, or hemp seeds for added dietary fiber and healthy fats.
- Extra Creaminess – Add 1–2 tablespoons of nut butter or half an avocado.
- Make It Sweeter – My husband likes his smoothies sweet, so he likes a drizzle of honey or maple syrup in his smoothies. I find the fresh fruit to be sweet enough!

Smoothie FAQ
Yes! Blend everything and store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Just give it a good shake or stir before serving.
Absolutely! Just use frozen strawberries and fresh banana instead. If both are frozen, you’ll have a thicker smoothie – let the fruit soften just a bit before blending so you don’t break your blender!
Use an extra ripe banana or add a splash of fruit juice for a natural sweetness boost. You can also add a little bit of honey. While it is sugar, if you use local honey, the natural benefits will help with seasonal allergies!
