Ingredients
- 1 cup frozen strawberries
- 1/2 medium banana, sliced
- 3/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk, milk, or cold water
- 1 teaspoon chia seeds
- 1/2 teaspoon honey, or a light drizzle to taste
- 1/2 cup ice, optional for a frostier smoothie
How To Make It
1. Add the almond milk, milk, or water to the blender first. This helps the blades move smoothly. 2. Add the Greek yogurt, frozen strawberries, banana slices, chia seeds, and honey. 3. Blend on high for 30 to 60 seconds, or until the smoothie is creamy and fully combined. 4. If the smoothie is too thick, add 1 to 2 tablespoons more liquid and blend again. 5. Taste and adjust with a tiny extra drizzle of honey if you want it sweeter. 6. Pour into a glass and enjoy right away while it is cold and thick.
Tips
- Use frozen strawberries for the best creamy texture without needing too much ice.
- If using fresh strawberries, add the optional ice to keep the smoothie chilled and thick.
- Plain Greek yogurt is a great choice because it keeps the smoothie creamy without adding extra sweetness.
- For a thicker smoothie bowl style, reduce the liquid to 1/3 cup and top with sliced strawberries, a few banana coins, or extra chia seeds.
- For a lighter-tasting blend, use cold water as the liquid. For a creamier blend, use milk or unsweetened almond milk.
- Let the smoothie sit for 2 to 3 minutes after blending if you want the chia seeds to soften slightly.
- Prep smoothie packs by freezing the strawberries and banana slices together, then add yogurt, liquid, honey, and chia seeds when blending.
