Ingredients
Scale
Fruits
- 1 cup fresh or frozen strawberries
- 1 ripe banana
Dairy
- 1 cup milk or yogurt (use your preference: dairy or plant-based)
Other
- 1 cup ice cubes
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Wash the strawberries thoroughly and hull them if fresh. Peel the ripe banana and break it into chunks for easier blending.
- Add Ingredients to Blender: Place the strawberries, banana chunks, milk or yogurt of choice, and ice cubes into the blender container.
- Blend Until Smooth: Secure the blender lid and pulse or blend on high speed until the mixture becomes creamy and smooth with no large chunks remaining.
- Serve Immediately: Pour the smoothie into glasses and serve right away to enjoy the freshest flavor and texture.
Notes
- You can substitute milk with any plant-based alternative like almond, soy, or oat milk to make it vegan.
- Using frozen strawberries or banana pieces instead of ice can give a creamier texture and chilled smoothie.
- Adjust sweetness by adding honey or sweetener if desired, though the ripe banana usually provides sufficient natural sweetness.
- For a thicker smoothie, reduce the amount of milk or increase the yogurt proportion.
