Ingredients needed

• Frozen strawberries: these are key for that thick texture!

• Milk: any variety you like! You can easily make this smoothie dairy free if needed.

How to make a strawberry banana smoothie

Step 1: Add your milk of choice to the bottom of a high speed blender. Adding the milk first to the blender will help it blend easier.

Recipe Note

You will need a high powered blender to make this recipe, as it is quite thick and a normal blender would not be able to handle it.

Step 2: Add your frozen strawberries and bananas over the milk, then blend it all up!

This strawberry banana smoothie is super thick, so you might need to stop blending and use a spoon to mix it all around. Be patient, it will blend!

I gladly take a few extra minutes to help the smoothie blend instead of adding more milk. As far as smoothies go, the thicker the better!

Tips for success

• Add your milk to the blender first: This will help make sure the blender works the best that it can.
• Add more milk if necessary: If you do not have a high speed blender, you may need to add more milk to make it not as thick so that the blender can handle mixing the smoothie up.

How to make a Smoothie thicker

• Use frozen fruit: Frozen fruit is key to making a smoothie thicker.
• Use less liquid: Adding too much liquid can make your smoothie watery. Start with less and add more if necessary.
• Use a high-speed blender: A high speed blender is important for getting a thick smoothie texture. The sharp blades can blend frozen fruit without much liquid and turn it into a thick and creamy smoothie.

You can use any kind of milk in this recipe. Any of these choices will work!

Notes
