Strawberry Banana Smoothie
Description
Combining a cup of strawberries and raspberries each with half a frozen banana, the smoothie uses almond milk and honey for sweetness and creaminess. Fresh herbs, like basil or mint, are optional additions that introduce a fresh, green undertone. Ice is blended in to chill and slightly thicken the drink. Blending until smooth creates a uniformly textured beverage with sweet and tart berry flavors complemented by mellow banana.
The smoothie serves well as a nutritious and cooling snack or a light breakfast complement. Adjust the almond milk quantity to thin or thicken the consistency as preferred, and sweeten further with additional honey if the berries are too tart for your taste. The optional straining step removes seeds if a smoother mouthfeel is desired.
Ingredients
- 1½ cups raspberry
- 1 cup strawberries
- ½ banana frozen
- 1 cup almond milk plus more as needed, or oat milk
- 1 tablespoon honey plus more to taste, or maple syrup
- Handful basil optional, or mint, fresh
- 1½ cups ice
Instructions
- Combine the raspberries, strawberries, banana, almond milk, honey, basil, if using, and ice in a blender. Blend until smooth.
- Taste. If it's too tart for you, add more almond milk and/or honey as desired.
Notes
- For a smoother texture, strain the blended mixture to remove strawberry seeds before adding ice.
- Add extra almond milk or honey after blending to adjust thickness and sweetness to your liking.
- Fresh basil can be substituted with mint for a different herbal note.
