If you want to make a strawberry banana smoothie without yogurt, you can easily make this delicious smoothie with 3 ingredients! It takes less than 5 minutes to make this recipe!

Today I share my strawberry banana smoothie that is perfect for breakfast or a snack. You can make this smoothie when you want to have a healthy treat during your sweet cravings as well.

It makes 1 large or 2 regular-size smoothies.

This recipe has health benefits. Bananas and strawberries are rich in potassium and vitamin C. Vitamin C is good for our immune and skin health whereas potassium regulates blood pressure.

You can use your choice of milk. I am using whole milk which is rich in calcium, potassium and magnesium. These are good for bone and teeth health. You can read more about the benefits of milk by clicking the link.

Let’s see the ingredients in detail.

Ingredients you’ll need

You can find the exact quantities at the bottom of my post, in the recipe card.

Strawberries-I use strawberries straight from the fridge. They should be cold but not frozen. When I use two frozen fruits, it becomes more like an ice cream. As long as you don’t want an ice cream consistency, you should use one frozen fruit and one fresh fruit.
Banana-I use frozen bananas that make this smoothie thick. You should use ripe bananas so you won’t need any sweetener.
Milk-You can use your choice of milk. I use whole milk.

Step by step instructions

I place the milk, frozen banana and strawberries into a blender and blend until all completely combined without any strawberry banana pieces.

The consistency should be thick and cold. You can taste it and if you want to make it thinner, you can add milk little by little. If you want to add some ice, you should blend until the cubes are crushed but with little ice pieces left.

I hope you enjoy this strawberry banana smoothie with milk as much as I do!

There are many great liquids to put in a smoothie. We recommend fruit juice or milk (any type, including nut and soy milks), or kefir, a fermented dairy milk that has even more belly-friendly probiotics than yogurt. Milk and kefir provide protein, while juice lends a sweet taste. You can also use a mix of the two in your smoothies. Berries are packed with anthocyanins, powerful compounds that help protect our bodies from inflammation and disease. They’re what give berries their bright red, purple and blue colors. Fruits are also great sources of fiber, and berries are some of the most fiber-rich fruits around. (Psst! Did you know all these health benefits of strawberries?) There are many ways to thicken a smoothie. Go cold: frozen fruits (and even ice) naturally make a smoothie thicker. (Learn how to freeze your own fruit.) Choose creamy: bananas, avocados, and even nut butters lend a thick, rich feel to your smoothies. Add greens: spinach disappears into a smoothie while it helps to thicken it. Fruits and vegetables are the healthiest things you can put into a smoothie, as well as milk, yogurt or kefir. Supplement powders, ground ginger and cinnamon are good-for-you options, too. Here are 40 smart ways to sneak more veggies into your diet.
