Ingredients

• 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
• 1 ripe banana
• 1 cup almond milk (or your preferred milk)
• 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
• 1 tablespoon honey (optional)
• 1/2 cup ice cubes
• 1 teaspoon chia seeds (optional)

Instructions

1. In a blender, combine the sliced strawberries, banana, almond milk, and Greek yogurt.
2. Add the honey if you prefer a sweeter smoothie.
3. Toss in the ice cubes for that thick, frosty texture.
4. Blend on high until smooth and creamy, making sure there are no lumps.
5. Pour into glasses, garnish with fresh strawberry and banana slices, and sprinkle with chia seeds if desired.
6. Serve immediately and enjoy the refreshing, fruity goodness!

Helpful Tips

• If the smoothie is too thick, add a splash more almond milk.
• For a vegan version, use plant-based yogurt and skip the honey.
• Freeze the banana slices beforehand for an extra creamy texture.

Storage Instructions

While this smoothie is best enjoyed fresh, you can store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Stir or shake well before drinking.

Ingredient Substitutions

• Swap almond milk with any milk of your choice, like oat, soy, or cow’s milk.
• Use maple syrup or agave nectar instead of honey for a different sweet note.

Pairings

This Strawberry Banana Smoothie pairs beautifully with a fresh garden salad, a whole grain muffin, or a handful of mixed nuts for a balanced and wholesome meal. Complement your smoothie with a light herbal tea or an energizing green tea for added refreshment.
