This Strawberry Banana Protein Smoothie is the perfect way to start your day, it is healthy and delicious!
Hey guys, after a few weeks packed full of parties and sweet treats I decided it was time to start eating healthier and making better choices for my family.
My favorite meal to start eating healthier for is breakfast. Especially if smoothies are involved! Our Spinach Berry Smoothie, Fruit and Vegetable Green Smoothie, and Strawberry Oatmeal Smoothies are favorites at my house. Today I’m excited to share a quick and easy Strawberry Banana Protein smoothie recipe. It is sure to help you start your day off on the right foot!

Strawberry Banana Protein Smoothie
Ingredients:
- Frozen Strawberries
- Frozen Bananas
- Greek Yogurt
- Peanut Butter
- Milk
Add all ingredients to blender and blend until it’s completely mixed.
Pro Tips:
- For a nice consistency, you will need to use a powerful blender. We love our Blendtec! This KitchenAid Blender is great too and it comes in so many fun colors.
- You can sub plain Greek yogurt for flavors like Vanilla or Strawberry.
- I’ve used both fresh fruit that I’ve put in the freezer the night before and store-bought frozen fruit. Fresh fruit is a little bit more flavorful, but either will work!
How to Freeze Fresh Fruit for Smoothies
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This keeps the fruit from sticking.
- Wash fruit and slice, if it’s big fruit like bananas, mango, peaches, etc.
- For berries, just wash and remove stems.
- Evenly space fruit onto baking sheet, and freeze.
- Once the fruit is frozen, remove the baking sheet and move fruit to freezer bags.
- Store in the freezer until ready to use.
One of the things I love about this smoothie is the mix of flavors. The strawberries and bananas mix perfectly with peanut butter for a creamy, sweet refreshing sip every time.
Since this smoothie has 19 grams of protein per serving, it helps us get going and stay going throughout the day.
