Ingredients
Fruits
- 1 cup frozen sliced strawberries
- 1 ripe medium banana, fresh or frozen
Liquid
- ½ to ¾ cup milk of choice (dairy or plant-based)
Instructions
- Add Ingredients: Place the frozen strawberries, ripe banana, and ½ cup of your chosen milk into your blender's cup. Starting with less liquid helps control the smoothie’s thickness.
- Blend Smooth: Blend the ingredients on high for about 45 seconds or until completely smooth and creamy.
- Adjust Consistency: Check the smoothie’s thickness and add more milk if needed. Blend again briefly if you add more liquid, until you reach your desired consistency.
- Serve Immediately: Pour into a glass and enjoy immediately for the freshest taste and best texture.
Notes
- Adjust the texture: Use all fresh fruit or more milk for a thinner smoothie, or all frozen fruit and less milk for a thicker one. Adding ice can also make it colder and thicker.
- Dairy-free: Substitute dairy milk with soy, almond, oat, or any dairy-free milk alternative.
- More add-ins: Boost nutrition by adding extra fruits, vegetables, nut butters, chia seeds, flaxseed, or protein powder to make it more filling.
