Description
A quick and easy 5-ingredient smoothie that is creamy, naturally sweet, and perfect for a healthy breakfast or anytime pick-me-up.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup strawberries (about 150g, fresh or frozen)
- 1 large ripe banana
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (120ml, full-fat preferred)
- 1/2 cup milk (120ml, any type: dairy, almond, oat, or soy)
- 1 tablespoon honey (15ml, optional)
- Optional add-ins: handful of spinach, chia seeds, protein powder, nut butter
Instructions
- Peel and slice the banana into chunks. If using fresh strawberries, hull and halve them. If frozen, no prep needed.
- Add banana, strawberries, Greek yogurt, milk, and honey into the blender. Add optional ingredients like spinach or chia seeds if desired.
- Blend on high speed until smooth and creamy, about 1-2 minutes. Scrape down sides if needed.
- Taste and adjust sweetness or thickness by adding more honey or milk as preferred. Optionally add cinnamon or vanilla extract.
- Pour into a glass or travel cup, optionally top with fresh strawberry slices or granola, and serve immediately.
Notes
Use ripe bananas for natural sweetness and creaminess. Frozen strawberries chill the smoothie without watering it down. Adjust milk quantity for desired thickness. Greek yogurt adds protein and thickness; coconut yogurt is a good dairy-free alternative. Store leftovers in the fridge up to 24 hours and re-blend before drinking. Do not freeze the blended smoothie.
