Ingredients

  • 1 large ripe banana, peeled and sliced
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and quartered
  • 1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
  • 1/2 cup vanilla or Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • 1/2 cup ice cubes (optional)
  • Optional: 1 tablespoon chia seeds, flaxseed, protein powder, or splash of vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Add sliced banana and quartered strawberries to a blender.
  2. Pour in milk until it just covers the fruit.
  3. Add yogurt and sweetener if using. Add ice cubes for extra chill and thickness.
  4. Blend on high until smooth and creamy, scraping down sides as needed.
  5. Taste and adjust sweetness or texture. Blend again briefly to combine.
  6. Pour into glasses and serve immediately. Garnish with fruit slices if desired.

Notes

  • Add spinach or kale for a nutrient boost without altering flavor.
  • Include protein powder for a post-workout shake.
  • Add nut butter for extra richness and flavor depth.
  • Use frozen fruit instead of fresh for a thicker, colder shake.
  • Best served fresh, but can be stored in fridge for a few hours.
