Yogurt Strawberry Banana Smoothie Recipe

I’m excited to share with you this Yogurt Strawberry Banana Smoothie Recipe that adults and kids love. Now, I know many of you love my spinach pineapple smoothie, but not all kids are excited to drink something green. However, you can still serve them a smoothie packed with fruits and nutrition with this delicious strawberry banana smoothie recipe with greek yogurt.

Strawberry banana smoothie recipe with greek yogurt:

Now I made this strawberry smoothie recipe with greek yogurt to beef up a little protein for the little kids.  I have used regular yogurt, but greek yogurt is great because the kids don’t usually notice the different, and it is a great way to make it extra creamy and add in some protein. However… not all kids like the yogurt.

How to make strawberry smoothie without yogurt:

You can still make an amazing strawberry smoothie without yogurt. Yogurt does help make it extra creamy, but bananas do that too. If you are going  to make this recipe without yogurt, I would use less juice in the recipe. The banana and less juice (change it to a half a cup) will  still make a delicious strawberry smoothie without yogurt.  I promise.

So whether your kids love yogurt, or they can taste that distinct taste even hidden in a smoothie (I have one of those), you can still serve a delicious smoothie. 🙂

Ingredients:

• 1 cup of juice (We have used apple, orange, and even grape) – you can do water (or half water), but you might need more sweetener.
• 1 ripe banana (the riper the better, because they are sweeter)
• 1 cup of frozen strawberries
• 1/2 cup of greek yogurt (you can increase it to a cup)
• 1/2 cup of ice (optional if you want it colder and thicker)

Easy Yogurt strawberry banana smoothie Recipe:

1. Place the liquid and the yogurt in the blender.
2. Then top with the fruit.
3. Blend until smooth.
4. Add ice if you need it to make it thicker or colder. Blend again
5. Sometimes you need to blend it once more to get any extra “chunks” out of it. 🙂

Kids love this strawberry banana smoothie!

All 8 of my kids love this smoothie recipe. They really do. I have one that hates smoothies. Fruit scares him (I know… weird, right?) and he even admitted that he likes this yogurt strawberry banana smoothie.

It was so good, my Dakota had to finish the leftovers straight out of the blender. 🙂

Now that we have talked all about these strawberry smoothies, make sure you invest in a good blender.

I have a Vitamix and I love it. It is old and is still going on strong. It is quite the investment to get one, but it is one investment that won’t disappoint. It will be the last blender you ever had to buy. Amazon has several of them on sale right now for a great price.

Now if a Vitamix isn’t in your budget, then I recommend a Waring professional blender. They are going to get the job done. Now they are not as great as a Vitamix, but they are the next best for a much more reasonable cost. Amazon has several Waring blenders on sale right now. 

Either way, I know you will be able to enjoy a delicious and smooth fruit smoothie with one of these blenders.

Money saving tip:

Did you know that you can freeze fruit yourself? Instead of buying fruit frozen, stock up on it in the Summer when it is at its cheapest and freeze it. When I find strawberries for super cheap, I stock up and freeze them. You can save over half off than if you bought frozen fruit at the store. Head on over to learn How to Freeze Fruit.
