Ingredients
Scale
Fruits
- 2 cups strawberries
- 2 frozen bananas (peeled and sliced)
Dairy
- 1/4 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 cup water or milk
Optional
- Sugar-free whipped cream (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the ingredients: Measure 2 cups of fresh strawberries and peel and slice 2 bananas, then freeze them beforehand if not already frozen to ensure a creamy and chilled smoothie.
- Blend the smoothie: Add the strawberries, frozen banana slices, Greek yogurt, and water or milk into a blender. Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Adjust consistency: If the smoothie is too thick, add additional milk or water a little at a time and blend again. If it is too thin, add more frozen fruit and blend until you reach your desired consistency.
- Serve immediately: Pour the smoothie into glasses and top with sugar-free whipped cream if desired. Enjoy right away for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Using frozen bananas helps achieve a creamy, cold texture without adding ice, which can water down the flavor.
- Substitute milk with any plant-based milk like almond or oat milk for a dairy-free version.
- Adjust sweetness naturally by adding a teaspoon of honey or maple syrup if preferred, although the fruits typically provide enough sweetness.
- Consume immediately for optimal freshness and flavor, as the smoothie may separate if left standing.
- This recipe is versatile and can be customized by adding protein powder or spinach for added nutrition.
