LISTENIngredients
1 banana, peeled and sliced
1 cup frozen strawberries
½ cup vanilla yogurt
½ cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
1 Tbsp. honey
¼ tsp. vanilla extract
ice cubes
Recipe Steps
Step 1
Add the sliced banana, frozen strawberries, vanilla yogurt, milk, honey (if using), ice cubes and vanilla extract (if using) to a blender.
Step 2
Blend the ingredients quickly until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Step 3
If the smoothie is too thick, add more milk, a little at a time, until you reach your desired consistency.
Step 4
Pour the smoothie into a tall glass, garnish with fresh strawberries or banana slices if desired, and serve immediately.
Remember:
You can also add a handful of spinach or kale to your smoothie for an extra boost of nutrients. Additionally, you can use plain Greek yogurt instead of vanilla yogurt if you prefer a tangier taste or a dairy-free yogurt if you're vegan or lactose intolerant. For a thicker smoothie, you can freeze the banana ahead of time and replace with the ice cubes. And if you don't have honey, you can substitute it with maple syrup, agave nectar, or any other sweetener you choose. Enjoy your delicious and nutritious creamy strawberry banana smoothie!
