Strawberry Banana Smoothie Without Yogurt
Servings: servings
This strawberry banana smoothie without yogurt is perfect for picky eaters who don’t like the tangy taste of yogurt. Made with 3 ingredients, it's the perfect quick snack or breakfast.
Ingredients
- 2 cups frozen strawberries
- 1 large overripe banana
- 1/2 cup milk (or milk alternative)
Instructions
- Place all of the ingredients in a high power blender and blend until smooth. For the best taste, serve immediately.
Notes
- Use ripe bananas (the brown spotty kind) for best results. Since this smoothie is naturally sweetened with fruit and uses no added sugar, you’ll want to maximize the sweetness by using a sweet overripe banana.
- If you don’t have a very high-power blender, I recommend purchasing fresh strawberries and slicing them into quarters before freezing to make them easier to break down.
- To help prevent blender burnout, I typically like to start by placing 1 cup of the frozen strawberries into the blender along with the banana, and milk. Blend until smooth and broken down and then add the remaining frozen strawberries to the mixture and continue blending until smooth.
- If your strawberries aren’t very sweet, you may wish to add a bit of honey or maple syrup to taste. If you want to avoid added sugar or are giving this smoothie to a baby under the age of 12 months, you can also add in 1-2 pitted dates as a natural sweetener and pulse until smooth and creamy. It’s a great way to add some extra sweetness to the smoothie and you can't even taste the dates!
