Strawberry Banana Smoothie

Prep Time7 minutes
Total Time7 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 cup frozen strawberries Using frozen is non-negotiable for that thick, milkshake-like texture
  • 1 large ripe banana The spottier, the better—it’s your natural sweetener
  • 1 cup milk of choice Dairy, almond, oat—you do you
  • ½ cup plain Greek yogurt For a serious protein and creaminess boost
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup Optional, depending on your sweet tooth’s demands
  • Handful of ice cubes If your fruit isn’t frozen, you’ll need these

Instructions

  • Grab your blender.
  • Add the frozen strawberries and banana first. Pro tip: this helps the blades break everything down smoothly instead of just spinning uselessly.
  • Pour in your milk and add the Greek yogurt. The liquid helps get things moving, and the yogurt is your secret weapon for creaminess.
  • Secure the lid tightly.
  • IMO, a smoothie-covered kitchen ceiling is a look nobody is going for. Blend on high for 45-60 seconds until completely smooth and lusciously thick.
  • Stop, taste, and adjust. Want it sweeter?
  • Add that honey now. Too thick? A splash more milk will fix it.
  • Blend for another 10 seconds to combine.
  • Pour it into a glass, maybe add a strawberry on the rim for the ‘gram, and drink immediately for the best experience.
