A Classic, Creamy, and Naturally Sweet Smoothie
This vegan strawberry banana smoothie is the perfect blend of fruity sweetness and creamy texture. Made with simple plant-based ingredients, it’s a refreshing and nutritious way to start your day or enjoy as a quick snack.
Why This Recipe Works
Frozen bananas create a thick, creamy texture without the need for dairy, while strawberries add natural sweetness and vitamin C. A splash of almond milk ensures a smooth consistency, and a drizzle of maple syrup enhances the flavor without overpowering the fresh fruit.

- 1 frozen banana, sliced
- ¾ cup unsweetened almond milk (or other plant-based milk)
- 1 teaspoon maple syrup (optional, for extra sweetness)

- ½ cup ice (optional, for a thicker smoothie)
Instructions

2. Serve and Enjoy
Pour the smoothie into a glass and serve immediately.
Serving Suggestions
Top with fresh sliced strawberries, chia seeds, or a drizzle of almond butter for added texture and nutrition. You can also blend in a handful of spinach for an extra nutrient boost without altering the flavor.
