A quick and easy smoothie combining ripe strawberries and bananas with almond milk, Greek yogurt, and chia seeds for a fresh, energizing start to your day.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (150g) fresh or frozen strawberries
  • 1 medium (120g) ripe banana, peeled
  • 1 cup (240ml) unsweetened almond milk
  • ½ cup (120g) plain full-fat Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Rinse about 1 cup (150g) of fresh strawberries and remove the green caps. Peel 1 medium (120g) ripe banana and break it into chunks.
  2. Pour 1 cup (240ml) unsweetened almond milk into the blender. Add ½ cup (120g) plain Greek yogurt for creaminess and protein.
  3. Add 1 tablespoon chia seeds, 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice, ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract, and if desired, 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup.
  4. Secure the blender lid tightly and blend on high for about 45 seconds to 1 minute, until smooth and creamy. Stop and scrape down the sides if needed.
  5. Check consistency: if too thick, add a splash more almond milk and blend again for 10 seconds; if too thin, add a few more frozen strawberries or banana chunks.
  6. Pour into a glass and serve immediately for the freshest taste and texture.

Notes

Soak chia seeds in almond milk for 5-10 minutes before blending if your blender is not very powerful to achieve a smoother texture. Use ripe fruit for natural sweetness. Adjust sweetness last by tasting before adding honey or syrup. For dairy-free, substitute Greek yogurt with coconut or almond yogurt or skip it and add more almond milk. Frozen strawberries can be used for a thicker, colder smoothie. Store in an airtight container in the fridge up to 24 hours; shake before drinking.
