Strawberry Banana Smoothie Ingredients
- Frozen strawberries: do not use fresh strawberries
- Frozen bananas: adds that super creamy texture to the smoothie
- Milk: any variety
How to make a Strawberry Banana Smoothie
Step 1: add your milk of choice to the bottom of a high speed blender. Adding the milk first to the blender will help it blend easier.
You will need a high powered blender to make this recipe, as it is quite thick and a normal blender would most likely not be able to handle it.
Step 2: Add your frozen strawberries and bananas over the milk, and blend it all up!
This strawberry banana smoothie is super thick, so you might need to stop blending and use a spoon to mix it all around. Be patient, it will blend!
I gladly take a few extra minutes to help the smoothie blend instead of adding more milk. As far as smoothies go, the thicker the better in my opinion!
Tips for Success
- Add your milk to the blender first: This will help make sure the blender works the best that it can, and has easy access to the liquid of the recipe.
- Add more milk if necessary: If you do not have a high speed blender, you may need to add more milk to make it not as thick so that the blender can handle mixing the smoothie up.
How to make a Smoothie thicker
- Use frozen fruit: frozen fruit is key to making a smoothie thicker
- Use less liquid: Adding too much liquid can make your smoothie watery. Start with less and add more if necessary.
- Use a high-speed blender: a high speed blender is important for getting a thick smoothie texture. Its sharp blades can blend frozen fruit without much liquid and turn it into a thick and creamy smoothie.

- Soy milk

The smoothie is so good
This looks delicious! Thank you for sharing!
Your recipe looks delicious! I make a similar smoothie with a hand blender. It takes quicker but gives the same thick texture. I microwave the strawberries for thirty seconds and add a fresh banana. The banana gives it a fresher, fruitier taste, frozen bananas taste sweeter. It goes into a 32 oz soup container and hand blended for a minute. Even easier!
