Strawberry Banana Orange Smoothie: The Ultimate Refreshing Recipe

A refreshing Strawberry Banana Orange Smoothie, perfect for a quick, healthy breakfast or snack. Packed with vitamins and flavor!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ripe banana, peeled and frozen
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen strawberries, hulled
  • 1/2 orange, peeled and segmented (remove seeds!)
  • 1/2 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy, I prefer almond milk)
  • 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt (optional, for extra creaminess and protein)
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional, for extra sweetness)
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional, enhances the flavor)
  • A few ice cubes (optional, if using fresh fruit and want a colder smoothie)

Instructions

  1. Gather Your Ingredients: Before you start, make sure you have all your ingredients ready.
  2. Prepare the Fruit: Peel the banana and make sure it’s frozen. Hull the strawberries. Peel the orange and carefully segment it, removing any seeds.
  3. Combine Ingredients in the Blender: Add the milk to the blender first. Then add the frozen banana, strawberries, and orange segments. If using, add Greek yogurt, honey/maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Add ice cubes if using fresh fruit.
  4. Blend Until Smooth: Secure the lid and blend on low, gradually increasing to high speed. Blend until completely smooth and creamy (30-60 seconds). Add more milk if too thick, or more frozen strawberries/ice if too thin.
  5. Taste and Adjust: Taste and adjust flavors to your liking. Add more sweetener if needed, lemon juice/yogurt if too sweet, or more orange segments for tanginess.
  6. Pour and Serve: Pour into a glass or travel mug. Garnish with fresh fruit, chia seeds, or Greek yogurt if desired.

Notes

  • For a thicker smoothie, use more frozen fruit.
  • Adjust sweetness and tanginess to your preference.
  • Add a handful of spinach or kale for extra nutrients.
  • Boost protein with protein powder or nut butter.
  • Experiment with other fruits and liquid bases.
  • Smoothie packs can be prepared ahead of time and frozen.
