This strawberry guava smoothie is a bright, fruity breakfast blend made for warm summer mornings. Sweet strawberries bring berry freshness, guava adds a tropical pink-orange glow, and banana plus Greek yogurt make it creamy enough to feel satisfying without being heavy. A small drizzle of honey and a spoonful of chia seeds finish it with just the right breakfast-smoothie texture.
Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh or frozen strawberries, hulled
- 1/2 cup chopped ripe guava, seeds removed, or 1/2 cup guava nectar
- 1/2 medium banana, preferably ripe
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup milk of choice, plus more as needed
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 to 2 teaspoons honey, to taste
- 1/2 cup ice, optional if using fresh fruit
How To Make It
Add the milk to the blender first so the blades can move easily. Add the chopped guava or guava nectar, strawberries, banana, Greek yogurt, chia seeds, honey, and ice.
Blend on high for 30 to 45 seconds, or until the smoothie looks creamy, bright, and fully combined. If your guava is very firm or your strawberries are frozen, pause and scrape down the sides, then blend again.
Check the texture before pouring. For a thinner smoothie, add another splash of milk. For a thicker smoothie bowl style, add a few more frozen strawberries or a little extra banana. Taste and add the second teaspoon of honey only if your berries or guava need more sweetness.
Pour into one large glass or two small breakfast servings. Enjoy right away while the smoothie is cold, colorful, and freshly blended.
Tips
Use ripe fruit for the best flavor. Strawberries should smell sweet and look deep red, while ripe guava should feel slightly soft and smell fragrant. If fresh guava is hard to find, guava nectar is an easy pantry-friendly swap that keeps the tropical flavor strong.
Frozen strawberries make this smoothie thicker and colder without needing much ice. If you use fresh strawberries, add the optional ice or chill the fruit first.
Greek yogurt gives the smoothie a creamy breakfast feel, but vanilla Greek yogurt also works if you want a sweeter, dessert-like flavor. If using sweetened yogurt, start with less honey and adjust after blending.
For a quick morning routine, portion the strawberries, banana, and chia seeds into freezer bags. In the morning, add the frozen pack to the blender with guava, yogurt, milk, and honey.
