This classic Strawberry Banana Smoothie is a quick and easy treat for breakfast or a mid-day snack.
I’m Lisa from A Leafy Life and I’m thrilled to be back again with a delicious and nutritious smoothie recipe. I think that the first smoothie I ever made was probably a Strawberry Banana Smoothie. Not only is it easy to make, but I usually have all the ingredients on hand. I love the wonderful combination of the strawberries and bananas mixed together in creamy goodness. Yum!
My youngest daughter, Jessica, loves Strawberry Banana Smoothies and likes to get one from McDonalds or Starbucks whenever we are out. But I’m really not sure what kind of ingredients go into these drinks. Why bother when you can make them at home with fresh ingredients from your kitchen?

Here’s what you’ll need from the store. The exact amounts are in the printable recipe card at the bottom of this post.
Can you use regular milk?
I like using almond milk because it’s creamier. But yes, you can use dairy milk instead. You can also use any form of milk here. The oat milk in the smoothie comes out the same way.
How to make smoothies without a blender
You don’t have to have a blender, but it really does make it a lot easier. You can use a food processor instead.
Another cheaper option is to buy an immersion blender. These are handheld, very easy to clean, and you can store them in your drawer, which gives you more cabinet space.
