Why you’ll love this smoothie
If you’re looking for a delicious smoothie option that you don’t need yogurt for, this is a great option!
This fruit smoothie is made with just five simple ingredients: frozen or fresh strawberries, banana, ground flaxseed, your favorite milk option, and protein powder for the source of protein.
If you’re tired of smoothies that don’t keep you full, this smoothie has 31 grams of protein and 8 grams of fiber too! It’s delicious, nourishing, and filling too.
It takes literally 2 minutes to throw together and is easy to customize, too! It’s the perfect smoothie for breakfast but it’s great for a quick snack too.
Ingredients
- Frozen strawberries: You can use fresh strawberries or frozen, both will work! If you use fresh I recommend using a frozen banana or adding a handful of ice.
- Banana: You’ll also need a ripe banana- this adds most of the natural sweetness and lots of creaminess! You can use frozen banana or fresh bananas, it’s up to you!
- Milk or Non-Dairy Milk: Any kind of milk will work for this smoothie. You can use regular milk or dairy-free “milks” like oat milk, soy milk, or even coconut milk to keep this smoothie dairy-free.
- Protein powder: Vanilla protein gives this smoothie a filling boost of protein- my favorite vanilla protein powder is Optimum Nutrition or Clean Simple Eats, but you can use whatever you like. My favorite plant-based protein power is Orgain.
- Ground flaxseed: Ground flaxseed is one of my favorite smoothie additions because you can barely tell it’s in there and it adds healthy fats and fiber! You can add chia seeds in place of flaxseed too.
- Optional: You can also add a squeeze of maple syrup or honey if you want it a little sweeter. For a thicker smoothie, add a handful of ice cubes. You could even add a tablespoon of hemp hearts.
How to make a strawberry banana smoothie without yogurt
Step 1: Add all ingredients to a high-powered blender. Note: For a thicker smoothie, add a handful of ice cubes.
Step 2: Blend ingredients on high until completely smooth and creamy. Scrape down sides as needed.
How to store
My favorite way to store leftover smoothie is by freezing into an ice cube tray for smoothie cubes. Blend with some extra liquid and your smoothie is ready to go! You can also pour into a freezer-safe container and then consume as soon as it thaws, but the texture won’t be as thick.
Variations
- Add a boost of flavor, protein, and healthy fats by adding a scoop of nut butter like peanut butter, almond butter or cashew butter.
- Add a scoop of cottage cheese for a creamy protein boost.
- Change up the flavor by using a different flavor of protein powder, like chocolate.
- Swap strawberries for any other fruit that you love. Use blueberries, raspberries, cherries or whatever you have on hand- homemade smoothies like this one are a great way to use up extra frozen fruit in your freezer.
