Ingredients
Scale
Base Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, washed and hulled
- 1 ripe banana, peeled
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup almond milk (adjust to desired thickness)
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
Optional Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- Ice cubes (to thicken, as needed)
- Additional toppings: sliced bananas, whole strawberries, granola, nuts, coconut flakes
Instructions
- Prepare Your Ingredients: Wash and hull the strawberries, peel the ripe bananas, and gather yogurt, almond milk, and sweetener to ensure everything is fresh and ready.
- Blend the Base: In a blender, combine strawberries, banana, Greek yogurt, a splash of almond milk, and honey or maple syrup. Blend until smooth and thick, aiming for a spoonable but not runny consistency.
- Adjust Consistency: If the mixture is too thick, gradually add almond milk until desired texture is reached. If too thin, add extra banana or a few ice cubes to thicken.
- Pour and Decorate: Transfer the smoothie into a bowl and spread evenly to create a smooth surface for toppings.
- Add Your Favorite Toppings: Sprinkle fresh fruit slices, nuts, seeds, granola, or coconut flakes on top for texture and enhanced flavor.
Notes
- Use frozen bananas and strawberries instead of fresh for a thicker, colder bowl without adding ice.
- Taste before serving and adjust sweetness or brightness by adding honey or a squeeze of lemon juice.
- Greek yogurt or skyr delivers the best creamy, thick texture.
- Pre-cut fruits can be frozen ahead for quick, convenient blending.
- Combine crunchy and creamy toppings for a pleasing contrast in texture and flavor.
