A quick and easy smoothie blending frozen strawberries, ripe banana, milk, and Greek yogurt for a creamy, refreshing drink perfect for busy mornings or a light snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (150g) frozen strawberries
  • 1 medium ripe banana, peeled
  • 3/4 cup (180ml) milk (whole milk preferred, or almond/oat milk for dairy-free)
  • 1/4 cup (60g) Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla-flavored)
  • 1 tablespoon (15ml) honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon (2.5ml) vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

  1. Gather all ingredients: Measure 1 cup (150g) frozen strawberries, peel and slice 1 medium ripe banana, and prepare 3/4 cup (180ml) milk and 1/4 cup (60g) Greek yogurt. Optional: honey/maple syrup and vanilla extract.
  2. Add strawberries and banana to the blender.
  3. Pour in milk and Greek yogurt.
  4. Add sweetener and vanilla extract if using.
  5. Blend on high for 30-45 seconds until smooth and silky, scraping down sides if needed.
  6. Check consistency; add more milk if too thick or more frozen strawberries/ice cubes if too thin and blend again.
  7. Pour into a glass and serve immediately, optionally garnished with a fresh strawberry slice or chia seeds.

Notes

Use frozen strawberries for best texture; ripe bananas add natural sweetness; blend at high speed for smoothness; adjust sweetness cautiously; freeze banana in advance for thicker smoothie; can substitute dairy with plant-based alternatives for vegan version.
