Prep Time 5 minutes
Total Time 5 minutes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup milk of choice (I used unsweetened almond milk)
  • 1 large ripe banana cut into chunks
  • 2 cups frozen strawberries
  • 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 tbsp hemp hearts (or sub in chia seeds)
  • 1/4 cup quick oats optional

Instructions

  • Place all ingredients in a high power blender and blend until smooth. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • This smoothie is naturally sweetened with fruit. I recommend using an overripe banana to maximize the sweetness of the smoothie and minimize that strong banana taste that you tend to get with a less ripe banana.
  • I personally found the smoothie to be sweet enough with just the fruit. If you want to further enhance the flavour and sweetness, you may wish to add a bit of honey or maple syrup. Blend up the ingredients, taste and adjust sweetness accordingly.
  • If you don't have a powerful blender, I recommend blending up the frozen strawberries in batches. If you try to add the whole 2 cups all at once, the blender's engine may burn out. If freezing fresh strawberries, cut them into slices before freezing to make them even easier to blend.
  • Adjust the amount of milk used according to personal taste preferences. If you prefer a thinner smoothie, add more milk. If you like your smoothie on the thicker side, add less. 
  • This smoothie tastes best when you drink it fresh. It tends to thin out a bit if left in the fridge for a few hours since the fruit thaws out and doesn't have that same refreshing taste and consistency. If you choose to make it ahead of time, you may wish to add a couple of ice cubes or some additional frozen fruit to the mixture and blend it up again to thicken up the texture.
