Ingredients

3/4 cup frozen strawberries (105g)
1/2 small frozen banana (50g) sliced
3/4 cup milk (180g) I used 2%
1/4 cup vanilla Greek yogurt (60g) or more milk
1 Tbsp ground flaxseed (7g) optional
1/4 cup oats (20g) quick or old fashioned
1/4 tsp liquid stevia or 2 Tbsp honey

Instructions

To a blender or food processor, add the frozen strawberries, banana, milk, greek yogurt, oats and sweetener. Blend until smooth, stopping once to scrape down the sides.
Taste, and if needed, add more sweetener and reblend.
Pour into a glass. Top with some whip if desired and enjoy!

Notes

Helpful Tips:

Adjust Consistency: If the smoothie is too thick, add a bit more milk or water to reach your desired consistency. If it’s too thin, you can add a bit more frozen fruit.
Use Frozen Fruit: Frozen strawberries and banana will give your smoothie a thicker texture and chill it without needing ice. Fresh fruit works too, but you might want to add a few ice cubes.
Use a high-powered blender: For the smoothest texture, I recommend using a high-speed blender like the Ninja IQ or Vitamix and using the highest speed setting.
Ripe bananas: Try to make sure your bananas that are ripe or over-ripe for natural sweetness. Smoothies are one of my favorite ways to use up any fruit once it starts to go bad. To save for later, just chop your strawberries and peel the banana and add to a freezer bag. Then you can throw them in your smoothie whenever you go to make one and you didn't end wasting anything!
