Ingredients
  • 1 cup Frozen Strawberries
  • 1 medium, ripe Banana
  • 1/2 cup Milk (Dairy or Non-Dairy)
  • 1/4 cup Greek Yogurt (Optional)
  • 1 tablespoon Honey or Maple Syrup (Optional)
  • Handful Ice Cubes (Optional)

Gather Your Ingredients

Make sure you have all the ingredients ready before you start. This includes frozen strawberries, a ripe banana, milk (dairy or non-dairy), optional Greek yogurt, sweetener (honey or maple syrup), and ice cubes (if desired).

Combine Ingredients

Place all the ingredients into a blender. Start with the liquid (milk) at the bottom, followed by the yogurt (if using), banana, strawberries, and sweetener (if using). Add ice cubes if you prefer a thicker, colder smoothie.

Blend Until Smooth

Secure the blender lid and blend on high speed until the smoothie is completely smooth. This usually takes about 30-60 seconds, depending on your blender. If the smoothie is too thick, add a little more milk. If it's too thin, add more frozen strawberries or a few more ice cubes.

Taste and Adjust

Give the smoothie a taste and adjust the sweetness or consistency as needed. Add more honey or maple syrup if you prefer a sweeter smoothie, or add more frozen fruit for a thicker consistency.

Serve Immediately

Pour the smoothie into a glass and serve immediately. You can garnish with a strawberry or a slice of banana on the rim of the glass, if desired. Enjoy!
