Ingredients for a strawberry banana smoothie

That’s what you need for this strawberry banana smoothie. You’ll find that many of the traditional ingredients for a creamy straightener are superfluous. There’s no yogurt, no milk, no dairy to make it creamy! Just two pure, healthy ingredients that make a plant-based, vegan smoothie. Here’s what you need:

• Frozen Strawberries: Frozen berries are easy to find and store, and give this smoothie a great icy texture.
• Fresh banana: Our pet peeve is smoothie recipes that call for frozen bananas because we don’t always have them on hand. We’ve adapted this one to use a fresh banana so you can whip it up right away.
• water and ice: For the body of the smoothie, all you need is a little water to mix and ice for the perfect frothy texture.

boost protein

Want to add more protein to your strawberry banana smoothie? Aside from protein powder, we have a few ideas for natural ways to add protein:

• almond or cashew butter. The almond and cashew flavor goes well with the strawberry; we prefer it peanut butter. Use about 1 tbsp, 2 for a stronger flavor. Keep in mind that this addition will also tone down the color a bit.
• Greek yogurt: If you like putting yogurt in your smoothie, it adds quite a bit of protein! Try mixing ¼ cup to ½ cup depending on your taste.

Other flavor variations

There are a few more flavor variations you can try to mix up the flavors of your strawberry banana smoothie! We think it’s ok, but you can always try:

• Lemon: Squeeze the juice of a lemon slice to intensify the flavors.
• Vanilla. Use ¼ to ½ teaspoon vanilla to add complexity.
• mint or basil. Add a few fresh mint or basil leaves for an herbal touch.
• Pineapple. Substitute 1 cup of frozen pineapple for 1 cup of frozen berries.
• mango or peach. Substitute 1 cup of frozen mangoes or peaches for 1 cup of frozen berries.
