- TOTAL 5min
This strawberry banana smoothie is so creamy and fruity. Depending on how ripe or sweet your fruit is, you may need to add a little extra honey, so add based on your taste.
You Will Need
1 heaping cup fresh or frozen strawberries
1 medium ripe banana or 1 cup banana slices, frozen is best
Half of a medium orange, peeled and quartered
3/4 cup to 1 cup milk, dairy or non-dairy; can substitute water
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Optional Ingredients
1 tablespoon almond butter, peanut butter or cashew butter
1 teaspoon chia seeds
1 teaspoon hemp seeds
1 teaspoon flax seeds
1 teaspoon strawberry jam, honey or maple syrup
Directions
Add the strawberries, banana, orange, 3/4 cup of milk, and vanilla extract to a blender. If you plan to add any, add optional ingredients to the blender.
Turn the blender on and blend until creamy and smooth. If the smoothie is too thick, add a bit more milk. Add a few ice cubes and blend until smooth for an icy cold smoothie.
Adam and Joanne's Tips
- How to freeze: To save the smoothie for later, pour each serving into a food-safe resealable plastic bag or container and freeze. Then, about an hour before needing the smoothie, take it out from the freezer.
