Why You’ll Love This Recipe

I love making smoothies for my family and trying out different tasty combinations. As a choice for my health, I drink smoothies between meals instead of snacking on not-so-healthy foods. Smoothies are delicious, require hardly any prep time, and you also get some fiber, nutrition, and refreshment at the same time. This strawberry banana smoothie recipe will earn you a drink that is creamy, refreshing, and delicious.

Green smoothies can help you sneak in some extra nutrients without even realizing it. I always throw some kind of green into every smoothie I whip up, typically kale or baby spinach. If you’re not too keen on adding greens to your drink, start by making your healthy smoothies without any greens. When you’re ready, just toss in one or two leaves of kale or spinach at a time. Gradually, you’ll get used to the taste, and you won’t even notice the greens are there! You’ll be surprised at how delicious and nutritious your smoothies become with the hidden greens. You can give it a try by adding a couple of leaves of kale or baby spinach to this recipe.

If you’re looking for a way to add more protein, fiber, carbohydrates, and vitamins into your meals, flax seeds or chia seeds are perfect additions to smoothies. You can add a teaspoon or more to your preference!

So, whether you’re starting your day with a burst of energy or treating yourself to a mid-afternoon pick-me-up, this Strawberry Banana Smoothie is the epitome of taste and nutrition. It’s the perfect embodiment of summertime, allowing you to savor the flavor in every sip. So take a break from your worries, indulge in the goodness of this smoothie, and let it take you to a world of refreshment and contentment. You’ll find yourself coming back to this delightful recipe time and time again, making it your favorite companion for the warm months ahead.

Recipe Tips and Techniques

• When making a smoothie, make sure that the ingredient most difficult to blend is at the bottom, in this case, bananas and greens if you do add them
• If you prefer an even creamier smoothie, try adding a tablespoon of plain Greek yogurt for extra calcium, nutrition, and smoothness
• If the smoothie’s sweetness isn’t to your liking, add another banana, honey, or agave!
• If the consistency isn’t right, try adding more liquid or fruit depending on which side the texture airs on
