Strawberry Banana Smoothie Recipe

Gather all your ingredients before beginning. If using fresh strawberries instead of frozen, you'll want to add more ice to achieve the right consistency.

Pour the milk, Greek yogurt, and vanilla extract into your blender first. Adding liquids at the bottom helps the blender create a smooth vortex for even blending.

Add the frozen strawberries, sliced banana, and honey or maple syrup (if using) to the blender.

Start blending on low speed for about 10 seconds, then gradually increase to high. Blend for approximately 30-45 seconds until completely smooth. If the mixture is too thick, add a splash more milk. If it's too thin, add a few more ice cubes.

Before serving, taste your smoothie and adjust if needed:

Need more sweetness? Add a drizzle of honey or maple syrup.

Too thick? Add a splash of milk.

Too thin? Add a few ice cubes or more frozen strawberries.

Pour into glasses and enjoy right away for the best taste and texture. If desired, garnish with a fresh strawberry slice or banana chip.
