Ingredients
Strawberry Banana Smoothie
1
medium
Banana
- frozen, peeled, sliced
1.5-2.5
cups
Strawberries
- frozen
0.5
cup
Orange Juice
1-3
tbsps
Honey
1
cup
Milk
0.5
cup
Vanilla Yogurt
Directions
- Banana should be peeled and sliced. Banana and strawberries are best frozen prior.
- Add liquids first into the blender - milk, vanilla yogurt and orange juice, then honey and finally the frozen banana and strawberries last.
- Start your blender a low setting and work up to a higher one, process until smooth.
Smoothie Tips
- Thicker Smoothie: For a thicker strawberry banana smoothie, try freezing the peeled and chopped banana beforehand. You can also add some more frozen strawberries to thicken it up.
- Thinner Smoothie: For a thinner smoothie, add a little milk, orange juice or water - tablespoons at a time after blending everything else.
- Smoothie Sweetness: Adjust the amount of honey to make your smoothie sweeter or more tart.
- Frozen Fruit: Using frozen fruit instead of fresh imparts a creamier texture to smoothies. This is particularly true for frozen bananas. It's easier to pre-prep the fruits (clean, peel, chop) into smaller pieces prior to freezing and is also easier on your blender.
- Blender Manuvers: Some blenders can struggle with blending large fiberous chunks or loads of frozen fruit. One tip is to begin on a lower speed and gradually increase into higher ones. Another tip is to try pulse, let the solids settle for a second or two, and pulse a few more times to break down large chunks.
