Strawberry Banana Smoothie Ingredients
Here are a few quick notes about the strawberry banana smoothie ingredients that you will need to make this recipe:
- Frozen strawberries: Look for unsweetened frozen strawberries in the frozen fruit section. Check the label to make sure no added sugars or syrups are included.
- Banana: Choose ripe bananas (yellow with a few brown spots). Riper bananas are sweeter and blend better in smoothies. if you have extras, you can freeze bananas for future smoothies.
- Almond milk: Choose unsweetened almond milk brand for lower sugar or make your own homemade almond milk.
- Frozen cauliflower: Look for frozen riced cauliflower or frozen florets—riced blends more easily. Adding a little frozen cauliflower to fruit smoothies adds fiber + extra creaminess and doesn’t ruin the taste. Promise this is a winner (and you’ll never go back to a straight fruit smoothie).
- Chia seeds: Black or white chia seeds are both fine—there’s no nutritional difference. These superfoods add omega-3s, fiber, and protein.
Recipe Tips
- Add a protein powder or try my homemade protein powder to give you long lasting energy without any sugar crash.
- Swap almond milk with any non-dairy milk like oat, soy, cashew, or coconut milk.
- Use one of my recommended blenders for smoothies to get the creamiest result.

Recipe Variations
- Protein boost: Add 1 serving of protein powder or collagen peptides to make it more filling and supportive for muscle recovery and skin health.
- Extra creamy: Swap almond milk for canned light coconut milk or add ¼ avocado for a richer, creamier texture.
- Fiber-rich: Add 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed or keep the chia seeds and add ½ cup frozen zucchini for extra fiber without changing the taste.
- Green smoothie: Blend in 1 cup fresh spinach. This leafy green vegetable blends smoothly and won’t overpower the strawberry banana flavor.
- Naturally Sweeter: Add 1–2 pitted dates or swap half the almond milk for coconut water for a slightly sweeter, more refreshing finish.
Storage Tips
Drink immediately for the best texture and flavor. Or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours—just give it a good shake or stir before drinking!

This was soo creamy and tasty. Cauliflower seemed odd to me at first but I didn’t even notice it. Who know cauliflower, bananas and strawberries would blend so well?
Right?! Long live cauliflower!!
Loved the added nutrients of the cauliflower!
Delicious! This is day 2 Smoothie and it tastes great. I love it. I tasted a hint of Strawberries which really made me just love it.
Good recipe with strawberry and banana and chia. Good thing can’t taste the cauliflower. Blends smooth.
I really liked this one. I can’t believe there was Cauliflower in it. I never would have thought to use this ingredient in a smoothie. Can’t taste it, still nice and creamy. Awesome!
This one was amazing!! Surprised it had cauliflower in it!! Delicious!! This maybe one of my go too smoothies!!
It’s so tasty I can’t believe how healthy it is! It’s definitely one of my new favorites!
Tasted good. Not as sweet as I expected. Nice smooth texture.
Love it!! I was out of banana and I subbed yogurt. I was curious about cauliflower but it was super yummy.
Very tasty and creamy, was surprised considering the cauliflower. I love cauliflower but never had it in a smoothie.
Was good smoothie. First time using chia seeds in a drink. Also added a bit of honey to sweeten it up.
This was tasty. I used a tropical blend of fruit which included strawberries instead of just strawberries.
I also used frozen riced cauliflower. Easy to add.
This was delicious. I added greens and put in less banana.
I will make it again.
I did not care for the smoothie. Although I like bananas and strawberries it just tasted bland to me and I put everything in it so not sure. Thanks
The hubby and I had his and hers this morning. I added greens, protein and extra water to get it to blend and only uses 1/2 of a banana. It was pretty amazing.
I thought the strawberry banana smoothie did not have much flavor. I did not like it. I added extra almond milk (1/2 cup) as it was not blending very smoothly. I did add the chia seeds.
Surprised it tasted good. A little thicker than I normally make them. Love strawberries. Used multi-colored frozen cauliflower from TraderJoe’s. Enjoying the wonderful texture being produced with my new Vitamix blender.
Wasn’t so sure about this smoothie when I looked at the recipe, but it turned out great! The banana was definitely the star of the show, and honestly if someone else had made it for me I never would have guessed cauliflower was on the ingredient list!
Strawberries and bananas, always a winner! I love the addition of chia seeds, great boost!
Very good, could taste all the flavors but the cauliflower .
Thick, creamy, delicious but mild tasting
Mild and creamy… easy to make and easy to drink!
My two favorite fruit banana and strawberry very good combination cauliflower put the icing on it. Very flavorful
You did I it again! This was a new one for me and it is soooo good.
