Frozen strawberries
Banana
Milk (dairy or non-dairy)
Greek yogurt (optional for extra creaminess)
Honey or maple syrup (optional, depending on sweetness preference)
Ice cubes (if using fresh strawberries)

Directions

I add the strawberries, banana, milk, and Greek yogurt (if using) into a blender.
I blend on high until smooth and creamy.
I taste and decide if it needs a touch of honey or maple syrup.
I add ice if I used fresh strawberries and blend again until smooth.
I pour into a glass and enjoy immediately.

Servings and timing

This recipe makes 2 servings and takes about 5 minutes to prepare from start to finish.

Variations

I sometimes use mixed berries instead of just strawberries for a different flavor.
I add a handful of spinach for a green smoothie that still tastes fruity.
I swap banana with avocado when I want a creamier texture and less sugar.
For a protein boost, I toss in a scoop of protein powder or nut butter.

Storage/Reheating

Smoothies are best enjoyed fresh, but I store leftovers in an airtight jar in the fridge for up to 24 hours. I give it a good shake or quick blend before drinking. I don’t recommend reheating. Easy Strawberry Smoothie

FAQs

Yes, I use almond milk, coconut milk, or oat milk, and skip the yogurt or use a plant-based one.

Do I have to use frozen strawberries?

No, but if I use fresh strawberries, I like to add some ice to chill and thicken the smoothie.

Can I make this smoothie ahead of time?

I blend it the night before and store it in the fridge, but I give it a good stir before drinking.

Any high-speed blender works. I prefer using one that can handle frozen fruit without issues.
