A quick and easy fresh strawberry banana smoothie that delivers a wholesome boost of energy, perfect for busy mornings, post-workout refreshment, or a sweet treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (150g) fresh strawberries, hulled and halved
  • 1 large ripe banana, peeled
  • 1 cup (240ml) milk (whole milk or plant-based like almond or oat milk)
  • 1/2 cup (120g) plain Greek yogurt (or dairy-free coconut yogurt)
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup (about 120g) ice cubes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Rinse 1 cup (150g) of fresh strawberries, hull them by removing the green tops, and cut them in halves if large. Peel 1 large, ripe banana and break it into chunks for easier blending.
  2. Place the strawberries and banana chunks into your blender. Add 1 cup (240ml) of milk—whole milk for creaminess or any plant-based milk for dairy-free option. Spoon in 1/2 cup (120g) of plain Greek yogurt for a thick, smooth texture.
  3. Add 1 tablespoon of honey or maple syrup if you want it sweeter, and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract for flavor.
  4. Add 1/2 cup (about 120g) of ice cubes if you want your smoothie chilled and refreshing. Adjust ice amount based on preference.
  5. Secure the lid and blend on high speed until the mixture is creamy and lump-free, about 1-2 minutes. Stop and scrape down the sides if needed.
  6. Taste and adjust sweetness by adding more honey if tart, or add a splash of milk if too thick and blend briefly again.
  7. Pour the smoothie into a glass or mason jar and serve immediately for best flavor and texture.

Notes

Use ripe fruit for natural sweetness. Adjust sweetness with honey or maple syrup as needed. For dairy-free, substitute Greek yogurt with coconut yogurt and milk with almond or oat milk. Add ice gradually to avoid overly thin smoothie. Can store in fridge up to 24 hours; stir before drinking.
