Strawberry Banana Smoothie
July 17, 2016
Revised & updated 2/9/2021 - This Strawberry Banana Smoothie is one of the easiest smoothies to make. It has only a few ingredients, but it's super delicious & I've never met anyone who doesn't love this smoothie flavor... even the kids! Whip up one of these smoothies for an easy breakfast, anytime snack, after a workout or even as a healthy dessert!
Serves: 1
Directions
1 Put orange juice, yogurt & honey in a Bullet type blender cup & stir till the honey is well combined with the other ingredients (see Tips# 3 & 4).
2 Add strawberries, bananas & ice.
3 Process till blended & smooth. Do not over blend.
Tips & Suggestions
1 Freeze bananas ahead of time. Choose fresh bananas that are partially green or just turned yellow with no brown spots. The more they ripen the sweeter they become & have a higher calorie count.
2 Slice bananas about 1/2" thick & place, in a single layer, in a quart sized freezer bag. Freeze & use them within 2 weeks or so.
3 The reason for the extra step of stirring is because the honey tends to clump & stick to the Bullet cup, never getting fully integrated into the smoothie.
4 If you don't have a Bullet type blender, you can use a regular full-sized blender. Eliminate the stirring in step# 1, just add all the ingredients in the OPPOSITE order listed & blend until smooth.
Strawberries and bananas pair very well together. This sounds so delicious!
What an easy and tasty sounding smoothie! I have been looking for new smoothie recipes this year, so I can’t wait to try this one.
I love this recipe as it uses vanilla, yogurt, and orange juice in it, can’t wait to try this out. Pretty sure my kids will be excited with the new flavors in the smoothie 🙂
This is one of my favourite smoothie combos, especially when strawberries are in season. Good idea to freeze banana slices. I have to try that!
I like the banana hack. Kids love this recipe and want smoothies for breakfast all the time.
Strawberry and banana just go so well together. Yum.
