Instructions
Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Strawberry Banana Smoothie
Begin by washing 1 cup of fresh strawberries under cool water to remove any dirt. Hull the strawberries and slice them in half for easier blending. Peel and slice 1 cup of ripe bananas. Gather all your ingredients, including ½ cup of yogurt and 1 cup of almond or oat milk.
In a blender, combine the prepared strawberries and bananas with the yogurt and almond or oat milk. Secure the lid tightly and blend on high speed for about 30-60 seconds until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy.
Once blended to your desired smoothness, taste the smoothie to see if it requires extra sweetness. If you prefer a sweeter drink, add 1 tablespoon of honey or maple syrup. Blend again for a few seconds to fully incorporate the sweetener.
Pour the Strawberry Banana Smoothie into clear glasses to showcase its vibrant colors. Enjoy it right away for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
Use ripe, fresh fruits for the sweetest flavor. Experiment with other fruits like blueberries or mangoes to create unique smoothies.
