Description
This Strawberry Banana Power Smoothie is a refreshing and nutritious beverage, perfect for a quick breakfast or post-workout snack. Combining the natural sweetness of strawberries and bananas with the creaminess of Greek yogurt, it’s packed with protein and essential nutrients to fuel your day.
Ingredients
– 1 cup fresh or frozen strawberries
– 1 ripe banana
– 1/2 cup non-fat Greek yogurt
– 1/2 cup low-fat milk (or almond milk for a dairy-free option)
– 1 tablespoon honey (optional, for added sweetness)
– 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
– Ice cubes (optional, for a thicker texture)
Instructions
1. Place the strawberries, banana, Greek yogurt, milk, honey, and vanilla extract into a blender.
2. Blend on high speed until smooth and creamy. If the smoothie is too thick, add more milk to reach desired consistency.
3. Taste and adjust sweetness by adding more honey if necessary.
4. Pour into glasses and serve immediately. For a colder smoothie, add ice cubes before blending.
Notes
– For a vegan version, substitute Greek yogurt with a plant-based yogurt and use almond or oat milk.
– To increase protein content, consider adding a scoop of your favorite protein powder.
– This smoothie can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours, but it’s best enjoyed fresh.
