Ingredients in this recipe:

Please see the recipe card further along in the post for exact quantities of ingredients and the full method.

Strawberries – use fresh or frozen strawberries, depending on seasonal availability.

Banana – I have used a fresh, very ripe banana, but frozen works perfectly!

Milk – use any kind of milk – I really like the flavour of almond milk, but any kind is fine!

Greek Yoghurt – adds a lovely creaminess and thickness to the smoothie.

Vanilla and Maple Syrup – these are both optional, but add a lovely depth of flavour and sweetness.

Step by Step Instructions:

Add the milk, yoghurt, vanilla and maple syrup to a blender.
Cut the stems off the strawberries and peel the banana. Add these to the blender.
Blend until smooth.
Pour into a glass and enjoy.

Tips for Success and FAQs:

If you are smoothie fans in your household, you could also make up some smoothie packs to keep in the freezer. Gather your fruit and prepare it for the blender, and freeze until you are ready to use. It can be a real time-saver, especially if you are after an easy breakfast!

What milk can I use?

You can use the milk of your preference in this recipe. My favourite is Almond Milk!

Can I use frozen strawberry and banana?

Absolutely – I love to keep frozen berries on hand to enjoy when they are not in season, and I frequently freeze banana when they are getting to that too ripe stage!

Can I double this recipe?

Yes – whatever capacity your blender can hold, you can make!

How do I make this recipe vegan?

Use a vegan friendly yoghurt and milk. Coconut Yoghurt works very well and adds a lovely flavour!

How do I make this extra chilled?

You may wish to add a little ice if you would like your smoothie to be extra chilled.

Can I use other berries?

Absolutely – blueberries also work really well with banana. Add about 1 cup in place of the strawberries.

Notes

Use frozen banana and strawberries for an extra chilled, thicker smoothie.
I have used almond milk, but any milk of your preference can be used.
In Australia, the tablespoon is 20 ml or 4 teaspoons. In many other countries, the tablespoon is 15 ml or 3 teaspoons. You may have to adjust your measurements accordingly.
If you would like your smoothie to be very chilled, you can also add some ice cubes to the blender.
The serving size and nutritional information is based on an approximate one cup serve per person.
