Variations

Sometimes I add a handful of spinach or kale for extra greens—without changing the flavor too much. If I want more protein, I add a scoop of protein powder or use Greek yogurt instead of regular. For a tropical twist, I add a bit of pineapple or mango. I’ve also made this with almond milk, oat milk, or coconut milk for a dairy-free version.

Storage/Reheating

This smoothie is best enjoyed fresh, but if I have leftovers, I store them in an airtight jar in the fridge for up to 24 hours. I give it a good shake or stir before drinking, as it may separate a little. I don’t recommend reheating or freezing it, as the texture changes.

FAQs

Can I use frozen fruit?

Yes, and I often do—it gives the smoothie a thicker, colder texture. If I use frozen fruit, I usually skip the ice.

How do I make it dairy-free?

I use a plant-based yogurt and milk like almond, soy, or oat. It still turns out creamy and delicious.

Is this smoothie good for breakfast?

Definitely. It’s light but filling, and with the yogurt and fruit, it gives me a great mix of protein, fiber, and natural sugars to start my day.

Can I make it ahead of time?

I sometimes prep the ingredients in freezer bags and blend them in the morning. Once blended, it’s best to drink it within a day.

How do I make it thicker?

Using frozen fruit, Greek yogurt, or a little less milk helps create a thicker consistency. Sometimes I even add a few oats to bulk it up.

Conclusion

Strawberry banana yogurt smoothie is one of those classic recipes I never get tired of. It’s simple, refreshing, and packed with flavor and nutrition. Whether I’m fueling up for the day or just craving something sweet and creamy, this smoothie always does the trick.
