Strawberry Banana Smoothie Without Yogurt
This strawberry banana smoothie without yogurt is thick, creamy, naturally sweetened, completely dairy-free, and easy to customize.
When it comes to smoothies, I want mine to be as thick as possible (milkshake style). I prefer to make my own so I can get the exact texture I want, and control the sweetness level.
Because there’s no yogurt in this smoothie, I recommend adding another source of protein if you plan on having it for breakfast to keep it filling. This can be hemp seeds, chia seeds, protein powder, collagen, or a scoop of nut butter.
If you’re wanting a fruity strawberry banana smoothie more so as a healthy dessert after a meal, you can always just omit the protein.
Ingredients
- Strawberries – either fresh or frozen. If you also like thick smoothies, use frozen strawberries. If you prefer your smoothies thinner, opt for fresh strawberries.
- Frozen banana – provides a smooth creamy texture and sweetens the smoothie, so be sure to freeze a ripe, spotty banana.
- Dairy-free milk of choice – oat, almond, hemp, cashew, etc.
- Protein of choice (optional) – hemp hearts, chia seeds, protein powder, collagen, or a spoonful of nut butter.
- Vanilla extract – extra flavor and a little added sweetness.
How to Make
Add all the ingredients to a blender along with your choice of protein. Add more milk as needed and use the tamper (if your blender has one).
Blend until your desired consistency is reached. This smoothie is best enjoyed immediately.
Make It Your Way: Substitutions & Variations
Please remember that recipes are just a starting point.
How can you make this strawberry banana smoothie without yogurt using what you already have? Here are some ideas…
- No strawberries? – sub another berry such as blackberry, raspberry, or blueberry.
- No banana? – you can either replace it with 1 cup of frozen mango, frozen pineapple, or 1 frozen avocado (pitted, skin removed, and cut into slices before freezing).
Top Tip
If your blender isn’t very powerful, slice your banana into coins before freezing. This way your blender doesn’t have to do as much work to break it down.
