How to Make Strawberry Banana Smoothie


Ingredients:

  • 1 cup almond milk (low-fat milk, soy or oat milk)

  • 1/2 Tablespoon honey (optional)

  • 1/2 – 1 cup ice cubes


Directions:



  1. Add all ingredients to a blender. If using frozen fruit, there is no need to add additional ice.

  2. Blend until smooth.

  3. Add a splash of milk to thin out the smoothie, or add more ice to thicken it, as needed.


How to Serve Strawberry Banana Smoothie


Serve the smoothie immediately in a chilled glass. Garnish with fresh strawberry slices or banana slices for an extra touch of sweetness and presentation. Enjoy it for breakfast, as a snack, or as a tasty dessert alternative.


How to Store Strawberry Banana Smoothie


Store any leftover smoothie in an airtight container or a mason jar in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Give it a good shake or stir before serving, as the ingredients may separate when stored.


Tips to Make Strawberry Banana Smoothie



  • Use ripe and sweet strawberries and bananas for the best flavor.

  • For a thicker smoothie, use a frozen banana or add more ice cubes.

  • Adjust the sweetness by adding more honey or using ripe fruits.


Variation


For a creamier texture, swap the almond milk with Greek yogurt or coconut milk. You can also add a tablespoon of chia seeds or flaxseeds for an extra nutritional boost.
