Ingredients
Fruits
- 1 ripe banana (preferably frozen for a thicker texture)
- 2 cups strawberries (hulled and halved)
Dairy & Alternatives
- ½ cup Greek yogurt (full-fat or nonfat)
- ½ cup milk (oat, almond, or dairy)
Seeds & Sweeteners
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1 tablespoon honey (optional for added sweetness)
Instructions
- Blend: Add the banana, strawberries, Greek yogurt, milk, chia seeds, and honey (if using) to a blender. Blend everything together until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Pause blending once or twice to scrape down the sides for an even texture.
- Taste and adjust: Taste your smoothie and add a bit more honey if you prefer it sweeter. If the smoothie is too thick, blend in a splash of extra milk to reach your desired consistency. Pour into glasses and serve immediately for the freshest flavor.
Notes
- Using a frozen banana helps achieve a thicker, colder smoothie without needing ice.
- You can substitute milk with any plant-based milk such as almond or oat for a dairy-free option.
- Greek yogurt adds protein and creaminess; choose full-fat for richness or nonfat for fewer calories.
- Chia seeds can be soaked beforehand in milk for 10 minutes for a creamier texture, but this step is optional.
- Adjust sweetness to your preference by adding more or less honey, or omit it for a naturally sweet smoothie.
