Print Recipe

A refreshing and healthy strawberry banana orange smoothie, perfect for breakfast, a snack, or a post-workout treat. Customize it with optional ingredients like Greek yogurt, honey, or protein powder.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ripe banana, peeled
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen strawberries, hulled
  • 1/2 cup orange juice, freshly squeezed or store-bought (pulp-free recommended)
  • 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt (optional, for creaminess and protein)
  • 1/4 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy, adjust to desired consistency)
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional, for extra sweetness)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional, for flavor enhancement)
  • A few ice cubes (optional, for a colder, thicker smoothie)
  • Optional toppings: sliced strawberries, banana slices, orange zest, granola, chia seeds

Instructions

  1. Gather Your Ingredients: Measure all ingredients and have them ready.
  2. Prepare the Fruit: Peel and slice the banana. Hull fresh strawberries.
  3. Combine Ingredients in the Blender: Add banana, strawberries, and orange juice to the blender. Add Greek yogurt, milk, honey/maple syrup, and vanilla extract, if using.
  4. Add Ice (Optional): Add ice cubes for a colder, thicker smoothie. Start with a small amount and add more as needed.
  5. Blend Until Smooth: Secure the lid and blend on low speed, gradually increasing until smooth (30-60 seconds). Add more milk or orange juice if too thick, or more ice/frozen strawberries if too thin.
  6. Taste and Adjust: Taste and add more honey/maple syrup if not sweet enough. Adjust consistency with more liquid or ice/frozen fruit.
  7. Pour and Serve: Pour into a glass or travel mug. Garnish with sliced strawberries, banana slices, orange zest, granola, or chia seeds, if desired.
