Strawberry Banana Smoothie Recipe
This recipe makes approximately two servings, perfect for the two jars in your photo.
Ingredients:
2 cups fresh or frozen strawberries (hulled)
1 large ripe banana (peeled)
1 cup milk of your choice (dairy, almond, oat, or soy work great)
1/2 cup Greek yogurt (adds creaminess and protein)
1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional, if you prefer it sweeter)
1 cup ice cubes (if using fresh fruit; skip if using frozen strawberries)
Instructions:
Prep the Fruit: Place the strawberries and banana into your blender. If you are using fresh fruit, you can slice them first to help the blender process them easily.
Add Liquids & Dairy: Pour in the milk and add the Greek yogurt.
Add Sweetener & Ice: If you like things a little sweeter, add your choice of honey or maple syrup now. If your fruit is at room temperature, toss in the ice cubes.
Blend: Start the blender on a low speed and gradually increase to high. Blend for 45–60 seconds, or until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.
Serve: Pour into your favorite mason jars.
Garnish: As shown in your picture, finish by slicing a fresh strawberry halfway through to perch on the rim of the jar for a professional look.
Pro Tip: If you want a thicker smoothie, freeze your banana slices beforehand!
