Although I look forward to strawberry season every year, please be assured this is an all class smoothie !
Having fond memories of picking fresh strawberries, I find strawberries make the most delicious smoothie reminiscent of my favorite milkshakes. But with much healthier clean ingredients and valuable sought-after antioxidants .
Looking for a strawberry smoothie without yogurt, this smoothie was created .
I pondered the ingredients that would be needed to create the ultimate creaminess. That would besides satisfy even the pickiest person ? Oh yes !

Making Your Strawberry Banana Smoothie:
step 1 – Gather and measure the ingredients. ( see tips & substitutions below )
I normally purchase a big bag of organic frozen strawberries at the grocery storehouse for relief in making smoothies. Plus, they tend to be more cost-efficient .
Slice the banana into about one-inch pieces.
step 2- Add all the ingredients to a blender .
step 3 – Blend the ingredients until smooth and creamy. This should take about one minute depending on your blender .
step 4 – Pour into a glass and enjoy. This smoothie yields two cups, which is one larger smoothie for one serving or two smaller smoothies for two servings .

Vegan Strawberry Banana Smoothie Tips and Substitutions:
- Make sure one fruit is frozen. So if you have fresh strawberries, then use frozen banana or vice versa. This will yield a more milkshake type creaminess.
- Add a few ice cubes if the smoothie is too thin.
- Add more liquid (dairy-free milk or water) if the smoothie is too thick.
- Do not add sugar – the smoothie is sweet enough.
- This strawberry smoothie can be stored in the refrigerator for later (but best used within the same day).
- Boost your smoothie by adding some hemp seeds, chia seeds, flax seeds, some greens (spinach) or extra berries.
