Creamy Strawberry Banana Smoothie.

Ingredients

Strawberries: 1 to 1.5 cups (frozen, as pictured)

Banana: 1 medium banana (sliced)

Orange: 1/2 of a fresh orange (peeled)

Milk/Liquid Base: 1 cup (dairy, almond, or oat milk all work well)

Vanilla Extract: 1/2 teaspoon (optional, using the small bottle and measuring spoon shown)

Instructions

Prep: Peel the orange and pull apart the segments. If your banana isn’t already sliced, slice it into manageable chunks.

Combine: Add the frozen strawberries, banana slices, orange segments, and milk into your blender.

Flavor: Add the splash of vanilla extract if you’d like an extra hint of sweetness.

Blend: Start the blender on a low speed and gradually increase to high. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

Serve: Pour into a glass and enjoy immediately while cold.

Tips for Success

Texture: If the smoothie is too thick, add a little more milk. If you prefer it thicker or colder, add a handful of ice cubes before blending.

Sweetness: If the fruit isn’t quite sweet enough for your taste, you can add a drizzle of honey, maple syrup, or a single pitted date.
