Ingredients in a strawberry banana smoothie bowl

• Frozen bananas: Use overripe bananas for the sweetest flavor. The bananas should be soft and the peels should be yellow with brown spots all over. Remove the peels before storing them inside a ziplock bag or container in the freezer.
• Frozen strawberries: Bright red, ripe strawberries will create the most flavorful smoothie. Buy them pre-frozen or freeze ripe strawberries yourself.
• Vanilla extract: A dash of vanilla extract adds sweetness without the addition of sugar.
• Non-dairy milk: Use your favorite non-dairy milk, like almond milk or coconut milk. If you do not follow a dairy-free diet, you can use regular milk instead.

How to make a strawberry banana smoothie bowl

For the full ingredient measurements and step-by-step instructions, scroll down to view the recipe card at the bottom of the page.

First, add all of the ingredients to a blender. This includes the frozen bananas, frozen strawberries, vanilla extract, and non-dairy milk of choice.

Second, blend the ingredients until smooth and creamy. I recommend using a blender with a tamper (a stick that is inserted into the center) to push the ingredients toward the blades while blending. This will help you achieve a thick and creamy consistency.

Lastly, transfer the smoothie to a bowl. Add your choice of toppings. Enjoy!
