About Strawberry Banana Smoothie

Definitely, this smoothie is a spring and summer drink but it is also good for all around the year. When you can not find fresh strawberries, use frozen berries to enjoy the smoothie.

Homemade smoothies are much better than store-bought. They are fresh and easy to make and we have the option to choose only the best quality fruits and other ingredients. Making smoothies at home means saving in your pocket and cutting down on unnecessary sugars.

Strawberry Banana Smoothie is sugar-free, packed with protein, minerals, calcium, fiber, and healthy carbs. And so it is one of the good options for the post-workout snacks.

I have added non-dairy milk to this smoothie, but if you do not have it, skip it. Also, you can add more or less yogurt to your taste. Instead of chia seeds, you can also add other nuts of choice.

Ingredients

1. Strawberries: strawberries are rich in vitamin C and are very low in calories. In this smoothie, we can use either fresh strawberries or frozen strawberries. Also, use more strawberries if you need to because more strawberries mean more deliciousness. If you choose to add frozen strawberries, do not add ice cubes.
2. Bananas: Bananas are high in antioxidants and are also a good source of Vitamin C, Potassium, and Magnesium. Use ripe bananas in this smoothie because we are not using any sugar and banana will be the only source of sweetness. Also using bananas that are not ripe enough, gives a sticky aftertaste to a smoothie, and obviously, we do not want that to happen. If you have ripe frozen bananas, that will work too.
3. Yogurt: I would love to use vanilla yogurt in this smoothie, which provides a nice flavor. However, any yogurt of your choice will work. Use plain yogurt, Greek yogurt, or any choice of fruit yogurt.
4. Non-Dairy Milk: I have used cashew milk, but feel free to use any type of non-dairy milk. If you like your smoothie thicker, you can skip adding milk. Also, if you do not have non-dairy milk, skip it, and the smoothie will still be delicious.
5. Chia seeds: Chia seeds are considered a superfood. They are high in fiber, protein, vitamins, and minerals. I love to throw these tiny seeds into my smoothies. You can skip it if you do not have it in your pantry. Instead of chia seeds, use nuts or even hemp seeds if you wish.

Variations

• Make It Vegan: For a dairy-free strawberry banana smoothie, use non-dairy yogurt or skip it. If you do not add yogurt, add a cup of non-dairy milk instead. For an extra protein boost, add a scoop of vanilla protein powder.
• Coconut Cream: Instead of yogurt and dairy-free milk, add coconut cream for a creamy, rich, and thick smoothie.
• Oats: Add two to three tablespoon of rolled oat to make the smoothie creamier and healthier. It will also make the smoothie filling for a long time.
