What is Strawberry Banana Smoothie?
Strawberry Banana Smoothie is an ultra-creamy drink with bursting flavors of strawberry. It is usually prepared with fresh or frozen strawberries, bananas, and other basic ingredients. Even though you can make this drink with strawberries alone, the bananas here will help to make the drink thicker.
More importantly, adding frozen fruits will help them to turn creamier. So I have used frozen strawberries here to achieve a similar consistency. And the best part is it is amazingly delicious without any sweeteners.
The natural sweetness from the fruits by itself is good enough to make this drink a decadent treat. So I skipped the sweetener to make a healthy Strawberry Banana Smoothie. And it is also rich in antioxidants that help to boost your immunity.
This drink is an easy-to-make, customizable, refreshing, and kids-friendly snack loaded with essential calcium, proteins, and fiber.

- Yogurt - I have used full-fat yogurt here but feel free to use reduced-fat yogurt or plant-based yogurts
