Strawberry Smoothie | Strawberry Banana Smoothie
Description
This smoothie recipe combines ripe bananas and freshly chopped or frozen strawberries with coconut milk of a thin to medium consistency. Blending until smooth produces a creamy and fruity beverage that balances the strawberry’s bright acidity and the banana’s mellow sweetness. You can adjust thickness by adding more coconut milk or ice and add optional sweeteners such as maple syrup or palm sugar to taste.
The coconut milk contributes a gentle creaminess and mild coconut flavor, complementing the fruit. The recipe suggests garnishing with strawberry slices or chopped nuts for added texture and visual appeal. It is best served immediately to enjoy its fresh flavors and smooth texture.
Variations include substituting coconut milk with other plant-based milks or dairy options, and flavoring with vanilla, cinnamon, or cardamom for extra aroma. The smoothie is easily scaled for different serving sizes, making it adaptable to various needs.
Ingredients
- 1.25 cups strawberries 200 grams, chopped
- ½ cup coconut milk - lite or with a thin/medium consistency
- 1 banana - medium to large
Instructions
Prep
- Rinse, hull and then chop strawberries. You can also use frozen strawberries if you’d like to make a thicker strawberry smoothie.
- Add the chopped strawberries in a blender.
- Add 1 medium to large banana (roughly chopped).
- Pour lite coconut milk. The coconut milk should have a thin or medium consistency. You can add some sweetener like maple syrup, jaggery, palm sugar, raw sugar or coconut sugar if you prefer. For thicker smoothie add about ¼ to ⅓ cup lite coconut milk.
Blend
- Blend until smooth. If the smoothie is a bit too thick, add a splash of coconut milk and blend again.
- Pour in glasses and serve strawberry smoothie straight away. Opt to serve the smoothie as it or top with some strawberry slices or chopped nuts.
Serving Suggestions
- Pour into two glasses and serve the strawberry smoothie straight away. I suggest you garnish the glasses with some sliced strawberries or chopped nuts or dry fruits.
- I recommend to drink the freshly blended smoothie as soon as it is made for the best flavor and taste.
- The coconut milk in the smoothie will get rancid if kept at room temperature for a few hours in a warm temperature. It can also go rancid in the fridge.
Notes
- Add sweeteners such as maple syrup or palm sugar if extra sweetness is desired.
- Use frozen strawberries or bananas for a thicker smoothie texture.
- Adjust consistency by adding more or less coconut milk as preferred.
- Garnish with fresh strawberry slices or slivered nuts like almonds or pistachios for texture.
- Substitute coconut milk with preferred plant-based or dairy milk alternatives.
- Optional flavorings include vanilla, cinnamon, or ground cardamom to enhance aroma.
- Prepare fresh and consume soon after blending for best taste and texture.
