Any number of great things can be put into a smoothie from fresh fruit, to juice or even dairy-free milk. Change the variations to make a creation that is not only good for you but tasty too (my kids used to consider them dessert)!

Strawberry Banana Smoothie Ingredients

The best thing about a smoothie is that it’s really easy to make your own!

  • Strawberries: I try to use frozen strawberries for a nice thick smoothie. Other types of berries can be added in place.
  • Banana: Bananas add a natural sweetness, I prefer frozen bananas if I have them on hand. As bananas ripen, keep a couple in the freezer for the thickest smoothies.
  • Milk: Cow’s milk, almond milk, oat milk, or coconut milk … the sky’s the limit!
  • Yogurt: Greek yogurt or regular work. If you’re using plain Greek yogurt, add a bit of honey or sweetener.
  • Ice: If the fruit is not frozen, add some ice to give it a frosty chill.

The Best Blenders for Smoothies

There is no “wrong” blender for smoothies. You’ll want a blender that has a fairly strong motor and can easily break down ice or frozen fruit. If you make a lot of smoothies or use a blender, it might be worth splurging on a high speed blender (I love this one). I also love the magic bullet for an easy on the go breakfast!
