An easy Strawberry Banana Smoothie that has only three ingredients and takes less than five minutes to make? This dairy-free smoothie is kid-friendly, vegan and gluten-free! Whee!
Although I look forward to strawberry season every year, please 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 without yogurt, this smoothie was created.
I pondered the ingredients that would be needed to create the ultimate creaminess. That would also satisfy even the pickiest person? Oh yes!
Making Your Strawberry Banana Smoothie:
Step 1 – Gather and measure the ingredients. (see tips & substitutions below)
I usually purchase a big bag of organic frozen strawberries at the grocery store for ease in making smoothies. Plus, they tend to be more cost-effective.
Slice the banana into about one-inch pieces.
Step 2- Add all the ingredients to a blender.
Step 3 – Blend the ingredients until smooth and creamy. This should take about one minute depending on your blender.
Step 4 – Pour into a glass and enjoy. This smoothie yields two cups, which is one larger smoothie for one serving or two smaller smoothies for two servings.

Ways To Enjoy This Healthy Strawberry Banana Smoothie:
Vegan Strawberry Banana Smoothie Tips and Substitutions:
- Make sure one fruit is frozen. So if you have fresh strawberries, then use frozen banana or vice versa. This will yield a more milkshake type creaminess.
- Add a few ice cubes if the smoothie is too thin.
- Add more liquid (dairy-free milk or water) if the smoothie is too thick.
- Do not add sugar – the smoothie is sweet enough.
- This strawberry smoothie can be stored in the refrigerator for later (but best used within the same day).
- Boost your smoothie by adding some hemp seeds, chia seeds, flax seeds, some greens (spinach) or extra berries.
