My family loves this simple strawberry smoothie. We’ve made it so many times that it’s become our house smoothie recipe! This is the only strawberry smoothie recipe you’ll need. Quick, easy, and delicious!
Key Ingredients
Strawberries: I love adding a heaping cup of whole strawberries and particularly enjoy this smoothie when I use frozen strawberries. Fresh work fine, but frozen strawberries make our smoothie extra creamy. Banana: I use one banana in this strawberry smoothie. I love how creamy the banana makes our smoothie, but you can substitute it for other fruit. Just like the strawberries, I love using frozen banana in smoothies (it makes them so creamy). Half an orange: When I have oranges in the house, I love adding them to my morning smoothie. It adds extra vitamin C and tropical flavor. Vanilla extract: I love adding a tiny bit of vanilla to my strawberry smoothies, and I highly recommend it if you have never tried it! Milk (dairy or non-dairy): I like adding some liquid to the blender to help the ingredients blend. For a smoothie without milk, use water. It still tastes amazing. For more creaminess, use milk (dairy or non-dairy both work).
How to Make a Strawberry Smoothie
To make a strawberry smoothie, I add frozen strawberries, a banana, half an orange, a little vanilla extract, and a splash of milk to a blender and blend until smooth. If you want a thicker smoothie, blend in a few ice cubes for an icy, slightly thicker smoothie. Remember that for the creamiest smoothie, use frozen strawberries and frozen banana. You can also add other ingredients to make this your own. A few of my favorite additions are:
Almond butter, cashew butter, or peanut butter (I use 1 to 2 tablespoons) Flaxseed meal, chia seeds, or hemp seeds (I use 1 to 3 teaspoons) Cocoa powder or cocoa nibs (1 to 2 teaspoons)
