Ingredients You Will Need
- Frozen strawberries: Bring a burst of tangy sweetness and a pop of gorgeous color to every sip.
- Frozen bananas: Deliver a luscious creaminess and mellow, natural sweetness to the smoothie.
- Peanut butter: Brings a rich, nutty flavor while adding a boost of protein and natural fats.
- Milk: creates a smooth, drinkable consistency (use any milk of your choice).
Tips & Tricks
- Thicker Smoothie: Use less milk or add extra frozen bananas for a thicker texture.
- Sweetener: If you prefer a sweeter smoothie, add a teaspoon of honey or maple syrup.
- Nut Butter Swap: Try almond butter or cashew butter for a different twist.
- Make it Dairy-Free: Use almond milk, oat milk, or soy milk instead of regular milk.
Using Fresh Fruit Instead of Frozen
Fresh fruit works perfectly, but you’ll need to add a handful of ice to keep the smoothie thick and chilled. Alternatively, refrigerate the fruit beforehand to help maintain a cool, refreshing texture.
Smoothie lovers, get excited. Try the creamy Banana Smoothie with Milk, the zesty Apple Carrot Smoothie, the rich Banana Peanut Butter Smoothie, or the summery Peach Strawberry Smoothie, each one is a flavor-packed delight.
Storage Tips to Extend Freshness
This smoothie is best enjoyed fresh. Store it in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 24 hours.
To keep your smoothie fresh and flavorful for longer, follow these simple tips:
Use an Airtight Container: This prevents oxidation and keeps the smoothie fresh.
Add Citrus: A splash of lemon or lime juice slows oxidation, especially for bananas.
Refrigerate Immediately: Store in the fridge for up to 24 hours; shake or stir before drinking.
Freeze for Longer Storage: Pour into ice cube trays and blend when needed for freshness
Variations
- Berry Boost: Add a handful of blueberries or raspberries for an extra fruity punch.
