Strawberry Banana Swirl Smoothie.
🍓 Ingredients
1 cup Fresh or frozen strawberries
1 Large ripe banana (frozen works best for creaminess)
½ cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
½ cup Milk of your choice (dairy, almond, or oat)
1 tsp Chia seeds (for the topping and extra fiber)
Optional: 1 tsp honey or maple syrup if you prefer extra sweetness.
🥣 Instructions
Prep the Swirl: Take 3–4 strawberries and mash them thoroughly in a small bowl with a fork (or a quick pulse in the blender) until you have a thick puree. Set this aside.
Blend the Base: In your main blender, combine the banana, the remaining strawberries, yogurt, and milk. Blend on high until the mixture is completely smooth and velvety.
The Assembly: Pour about one-third of the smoothie into a tall glass. Drop a spoonful of the strawberry puree on top. Repeat the layers until the glass is nearly full.
Create the Effect: Use a long spoon or a straw to gently swirl the puree through the smoothie. Don’t over-mix, or you’ll lose the beautiful marbled pattern!
Garnish: Top with fresh strawberry halves, a few banana slices, and a sprinkle of chia seeds just like in the photo.
Tip: If you want a thicker, “bowl-like” consistency, use less milk and ensure all your fruit is frozen!
