A Strawberry Banana Almond Milk Smoothie that takes less than five minutes to make? This dairy free smoothie is kid-friendly and gluten free! Whee!
Although I look forward to strawberry season every year, be assured this is an all year smoothie! Having fond memories of picking fresh strawberries, I find strawberries make the most delicious smoothie reminiscent of my favorite milkshakes. But with much healthier clean ingredients and valuable sought-after antioxidants.
Looking for a strawberry smoothie with almond milk but no yogurt, this smoothie was created. I pondered the ingredients that would be needed to create the ultimate creaminess. That would satisfy even the pickiest person?
Smoothies are such a win in the challenge of getting those daily servings of fruits and vegetables. This one reminds me of a tropical drink. And this favorite of mine is too easy to be so delicious. Why it’s a dessert in a glass.
In the mood for apple pie? Try this smoothie. Eggnog? Got you covered here.
What Is All The Fuss About Strawberries?
Well, they are:
- Fat free
- Sodium Free
- Cholesterol Free
- Good source of antioxidants and Vitamin C
“These sweet little packages protect your heart, increase HDL (good)cholesterol, lower your blood pressure, and guard against cancer.” *
Tip: I use only organic strawberries in this recipe to avoid pesticides and to use the cleanest ingredients possible.
This Strawberry Banana Almond Smoothie Is Great As/For/Because:
The inspiration for this strawberry smoothie comes from Whole Living. I adjusted the ingredients and have made a few different versions every time I have made it, but this recipe is my absolute favorite. There are no “greens” in this smoothie like other smoothies on the site; kale or spinach, which are also delicious.
Tip: Use frozen banana and strawberry and eliminate the ice cubes for a thicker consistency.
When I do this, this strawberry smoothie reminds me of a strawberry milkshake! If you are using room temperature fruits, just add the six ice cubes.

Hi Natalie,
Thanks! Your post on the juice cleanse is great. I would love to try a juice cleanse.

It sure does look like a strawberry milkshake, which is my favorite kind! I love drinking smoothies after a long run. And strawberries are always, always included.
Hi Sally,
Thanks! Love your site!!

This looks so tasty! I would definitely take your advice on freezing the banana ahead of time– it’d make it extra milkshakey but keep the healthfulness of a smoothie 🙂
I recently discovered freezing bananas and it has been great for so many banana recipes, even banana bread!
Yum!! My brother always orders a strawberry smoothie when we go to our favorite breakfast restaurant. He used to ask for OJ instead of milk, until he realized he was allergic to oranges… But he always asked for extra whipped cream on top! Yours looks much healthier, but just as sweet. :]
(P.S. I think you might be missing the strawberries from the ingredients in your printable version… Just wanted to let you know!)
Hi Amy,
Thanks for stopping by! Strawberry smoothies are awesome and we are heading into strawberry season here in New England soon.
A big thanks for letting me know about the printable recipe!! I checked and had omitted the strawberries. I appreciate you telling me. 🙂

This is a really nice way to get a lift after a walk or exercise, my partner whipped up a couple after our sunday ride and we both enjoyed them plus this smoothie is healthy, what more can you ask 🙂
Your site has a lot of delicious looking smoothies. I can’t wait to try some!
This is how I’ve always made my strawberry smoothies! I love me a good ‘faux’ milkshake!
Yes, me too, Sarah!
This sounds so simple and bright and fresh! Just what I want in a smoothie!
Thanks Mary!
Your Strawberry Smoothie is a lovely way to start the day off right, with lots of good for you ingredients and a delicious balance of flavours!

Not only does this sound super delicious but also will fill in very nicely when I’m craving something sweet but what to stay healthy!
Thanks so much!
A classic smoothie recipe is always useful. Will have to try adding maple syrup to my smoothies!
Thanks Matt!
