If I want it a little sweeter, I’ll drizzle in some honey or maple syrup.
I toss in a few ice cubes if I want a colder, frostier smoothie.

Variations

I sometimes swap the milk for orange juice for a citrus twist, or add a handful of spinach for a green smoothie boost. When I want more protein, I throw in a scoop of protein powder or some chia seeds. Greek yogurt also gives it an extra creamy and tangy texture.

storage/reheating

I prefer to drink this smoothie right after blending, but if I need to store it, I keep it in the fridge in a sealed jar for up to 24 hours. I give it a good shake or stir before drinking. I don’t reheat this smoothie—it’s meant to be served cold. Strawberry Banana Yogurt Smoothie

FAQs

Can I use frozen fruit?

Yes, I often use frozen strawberries or bananas for a thicker, colder smoothie without needing ice.

What kind of yogurt works best?

I like using plain or vanilla yogurt. Greek yogurt makes it thicker and adds more protein.

Can I make this smoothie dairy-free?

Absolutely. I just use a plant-based yogurt and non-dairy milk like almond, oat, or soy.

Is it sweet enough without added sugar?

For me, the banana and strawberries are usually sweet enough, but I sometimes add a bit of honey if I want it sweeter.

Can I prep this ahead of time?

I sometimes prep the ingredients in a freezer bag and store them in the freezer. When I’m ready, I just add the milk and blend.

Conclusion

This strawberry banana yogurt smoothie is one of my favorite simple recipes. It’s refreshing, nutritious, and endlessly adaptable. Whether I need something quick in the morning or a post-workout treat, it’s always a reliable and delicious option.
