Strawberry & banana smoothies FAQ:

How long does it take to make this smoothie?

Preparing and blending the Strawberry & Banana Smoothie takes about 10 minutes total. This includes washing and slicing the fruit as well as blending all ingredients.

Can I use frozen strawberries or bananas instead?

Yes, you can use frozen strawberries or bananas. They will give the smoothie a thicker texture and a chilled temperature, making it even more refreshing.

How do I store leftover smoothie?

If you have leftover smoothie, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. However, it’s best enjoyed fresh as separation may occur.

What can I substitute for Greek yogurt?

You can substitute Greek yogurt with regular yogurt, plant-based yogurt, or even silken tofu for a dairy-free option. Adjust the amount for desired creaminess.

What if my smoothie is too thick?

If your smoothie is too thick, simply add a small amount of milk (or water) and blend again until you reach your preferred consistency.

Tips:

- Use frozen strawberries and bananas to give your smoothie a thicker, cooler texture without needing to add ice.

- If you prefer a dairy-free option, you can substitute the milk with almond milk or any other plant-based milk.

- Add a tablespoon of honey or maple syrup if you like your smoothie a bit sweeter.

- Incorporate a handful of spinach to boost the nutrient content. It won’t alter the flavor but will add extra vitamins and minerals.

- For an added protein boost, consider mixing in a scoop of your favorite protein powder.
