Why I love making this banana strawberry smoothie recipe
There are a lot of smoothie combinations I enjoy, but I keep coming back to this one for its simplicity and naturally sweet fruity flavour. The frozen strawberries give it a natural sweetness I love, and the banana adds delicious creaminess. It’s the kind of smoothie that feels indulgent but is actually loaded with fiber, antioxidants, and plant-based goodness.
Plus, it’s super adaptable depending on what you have on hand and the kind of blender you’re using.
Ingredients needed for banana strawberry smoothie
You only need four ingredients this healthy banana strawberry smoothie:
- 2 cups frozen strawberries
- 1 frozen banana
- 1 cup soy milk
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
How to make a healthy banana strawberry smoothie
If you have a high-speed blender like a Vitamix, you can blend everything from frozen for a thick, ice-cream-like texture. If you’re using a standard blender, I recommend using a fresh banana instead of frozen, or adding a little more milk to help it blend smoothly. I will demonstrate this banana strawberry smoothie recipe with my high speed blender.
Instructions:
- Add the soy milk, frozen banana, frozen strawberries, and chia seeds to your blender.
- Blend until completely smooth and creamy.
- Taste and adjust—if you’d like it sweeter, add 1 tablespoon of honey or maple syrup.
- Pour into a glass and enjoy immediately.
Tips and tricks for perfecting your banana strawberry smoothie
- High-speed blender tip: Use both frozen banana and frozen strawberries for a thick, cold smoothie.
- Standard blender tip: Swap the frozen banana for a fresh one, or increase the milk slightly for easier blending.
- Milk alternatives: I used soy milk, but almond, oat, or coconut milk all work beautifully.
- Chia seed swap: You can substitute chia seeds with flaxseeds for a similar fiber and nutrition boost.
- Sweetness: This smoothie is naturally sweet, but if your strawberries aren’t very ripe, feel free to add a touch of honey or maple syrup.
Frequently asked questions about banana strawberry smoothies
Absolutely. Try adding a handful of spinach for extra greens, a scoop of nut butter for protein, or a spoonful of oats to make it more filling—just like I do in my raspberry banana smoothie.
Most of the time, yes. But if your strawberries are a bit tart or your banana isn’t very ripe, a little natural sweetener goes a long way.
