🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
- Prepare the fruit: Wash the strawberries and remove the stems. Peel the banana.
- Combine ingredients: Place the strawberries, banana, milk (or yogurt), protein powder (if using), and honey (if using) into the blender.
- Blend: Secure the lid on the blender and start blending on low speed. Gradually increase the speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy. This usually takes about 30-60 seconds, depending on your blender's power.
- Check consistency: If the smoothie is too thick, add a little more liquid (milk or water) and blend again. If it's too thin, add a few more strawberries or a small piece of banana and blend.
- Taste and adjust: Taste the smoothie and adjust the sweetness by adding more honey, if desired. If you prefer a tangier flavor, add a squeeze of lemon juice.
- Pour and serve: Pour the smoothie into a glass and serve immediately. You can garnish with a few fresh strawberries or a slice of banana, if you're feeling fancy.
📝 Notes
- For a colder smoothie, use frozen strawberries and banana.
- Feel free to add other fruits like blueberries or raspberries.
- If you don't have protein powder, you can use Greek yogurt for an extra protein boost.
