Key Ingredients
- strawberry: I love adding a glass of whole strawberries, especially when I enjoy this smoothie when using frozen strawberries. Fresh work was OK, but frozen strawberries made our smoothies extra creamy.
- banana: I use a banana in this strawberry smoothie. I love how creamy the banana makes our smoothie cream, but you can replace it with other fruits. Just like strawberries, I like to use frozen bananas in smoothies (it makes them so creamy).
- Half Orange: When I have oranges in the house, I like to add them to my morning smoothies. It adds extra vitamin C and tropical flavor.
- Vanilla extract: I love adding a little vanilla to my strawberry smoothie and I highly recommend it if you have never tried it!
- Milk (dairy or non-dairy): I like to add some liquid to the blender to help the ingredients mix. For smoothies without milk, use water. It still tastes great. To get more cream, use milk (both dairy or non-dairy products are available).
How to make strawberry smoothie
Making Strawberry SmoothieI added frozen strawberries, bananas, half oranges, small vanilla extract and milk to the blender and stir until smooth. If you want a thick smoothie, mix in a few ice cubes to make it cold and slightly thicker.
Remember, for the creamiest smoothies, use frozen strawberries and frozen bananas. You can also add other ingredients to make your own. Some of my favorite additions are:
