Ingredients
Fruits
- 3 cups frozen sliced strawberries
- 1 1/2 cups frozen sliced banana
Dairy
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 2 cups milk (dairy or unsweetened soy milk)
Optional Add-ins
- 1/4 cup hemp seeds or ground flaxseeds
Instructions
- Add Ingredients: Place the frozen strawberries, frozen banana slices, milk, and hemp seeds or ground flaxseeds (if using) into a high-speed blender.
- Blend Smooth: Blend on high for about 1 minute, or until the mixture is smooth and creamy with no chunks remaining.
- Adjust Consistency: If the smoothie is too thick, add a little more milk and blend again until you achieve your desired texture.
- Serve: Pour the smoothie into glasses and enjoy immediately for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Use frozen bananas to give the smoothie a creamy, chilled texture. If fresh bananas are used, add ice to chill.
- You can substitute the milk with any dairy or non-dairy milk such as almond, oat, or cashew milk depending on your preference.
- Adding hemp seeds or ground flaxseeds boosts the protein and omega-3 fatty acids content but can be omitted if preferred.
- This recipe serves 2, but can be easily doubled or adjusted according to your needs.
