A close-up image of a pink strawberry smoothie served in a clear glass. The smoothie fills most of the glass with a smooth, slightly thick texture and tiny strawberry specks visible throughout. On top of the smoothie is a layer of white whipped cream, soft and fluffy, that almost reaches the rim of the glass. A fresh half slice of strawberry with a bright red and white gradient and green leaves is placed on the whipped cream. A red and white striped paper straw is inserted from the back, standing vertically. The glass sits on a wooden surface covered partly with a white cloth, with a background of a white marbled texture. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

  • 2 cups strawberries
  • 2 frozen bananas, peeled and sliced
  • 1/4 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1 cup water or milk
  • Sugar-free whipped cream (optional)

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Place strawberries, frozen bananas, Greek yogurt, and water or milk into a blender.
  2. Step 2: Blend until smooth. If the smoothie is too thick, add more milk or water to reach your desired consistency. If it’s too thin, add additional frozen fruit.
  3. Step 3: Pour into glasses, top with sugar-free whipped cream if desired, and serve immediately.

Tips & Variations

  • Try substituting Greek yogurt with a dairy-free alternative for a vegan-friendly smoothie.
  • Add a handful of spinach for a boost of nutrients without changing the flavor much.
  • Use almond milk or oat milk instead of water for a creamier texture.

Storage

This smoothie is best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Stir well before drinking, as separation may occur. Avoid freezing once blended, as texture may change.

How to Serve

A clear glass filled almost to the top with a smooth, light pink strawberry smoothie sits centered on a round wooden board. Inside the smoothie is a white and pink striped straw standing upright. In front of the glass, a fresh red strawberry cut in half rests on two more pink striped straws, all placed on the wooden board. Another glass of the same smoothie with a similar straw is blurred in the background. The whole scene is set on a white marbled surface. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I use fresh bananas instead of frozen?

Frozen bananas help create a thicker, colder smoothie. If you use fresh bananas, consider adding ice cubes to achieve a similar texture.

Can I add sweetener to this smoothie?

Yes, if you prefer a sweeter smoothie, you can add honey, maple syrup, or a sugar substitute to taste. The natural sweetness of the fruit is often enough for most palates.

  2. Blend Smooth: Blend all ingredients on high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Pause to scrape down the sides if necessary for even blending.

Notes

  • Use ripe bananas for natural sweetness, and freezing them gives the smoothie a thick and chilled texture without needing ice.
  • Greek yogurt adds creaminess and protein, but you can substitute with any yogurt style or a dairy-free alternative as desired.
  • Adjust the liquid amount to your preferred thickness; using milk will make it creamier while water keeps it lighter.
  • Sugar-free whipped cream is optional; for added flavor without sugar, consider adding a few drops of vanilla extract or a pinch of cinnamon.
  • This smoothie is best consumed fresh but can be refrigerated for up to 24 hours; stir well before drinking.
