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 the second smoothie of the current 10 Day Challenge. It was really good. The combination of ingredients was just right.
Absolutely delish! This one will be on heavy rotation after the challenge!!!
I’m not a fan of cauliflower but I loved this smoothie. Flavors blended and did not taste cauliflower. Nice sneaky way to get my vegetables!
Yummy. I forgot the cauliflower, but it was still good. I’ll try it again later WITH the cauliflower.
Found bananas at local Giant. Creamier strawberry banana smooooothie! Bananas still a bit on the not quite yet completely ripe, but still good. I imagine it would be super awesome if local fruit was better. Fantastic recipes
I have never used cauliflower in a smoothie and would not have known it was in there if I didn’t see it go in. Great strawberry banana flavour.
Totally enjoyed the addition of frozen cauliflower. It’s considered a green vegetable so we did get those greens in Delicious and light tasting.
So very yummy! Used frozen cauliflower crumbles
So good!
This smoothie has a very creamy taste!! It’s very tasty!! I did not add chia seeds, so I added a cup of spinach, instead! I can still taste the strawberry and banana, however. I will definitely make this again! It’s a winner!
This was a great smoothie, I never thought of using cauliflower. I will be making this one again.
I was surprised…this one was delicious. This was the first time that I used a different veggie in my smoothie.
Found another favorite, with your amazing smoothie recipes I have more than 1 favorite.
Did not disappoint absolutely delicious
Was not sure if the combo when I read the ingredients but it was delicious
I make smoothies with spinach, kale, fruits, cucumber but I would not have thought to add cauliflower and yet I didn’t even taste it. The strawberries and banana flavor come through. I again added my unflavored collagen protein powder like I did in yesterday’s. Thick, rich and yummy. I’ll have to try again and add in my berry or vanilla protein powder.
The Strawberry Banana smoothie tasted creamy and berrylicious!
I knew I would like this smoothie because I love a strawberry-banana combo! I added some protein powder to make it a meal. I liked the added nutrition from the cauliflower, which didn’t change the taste to me at all. I also threw in a cube of spinach to add some greens. I will definitely be making this smoothie again!
Love this smoothie . I was skeptical about the use of cauliflower but I didn’t taste it and the texture was so cold and creamy A sweet treat !
Strawberry with cauliflower was a unique combination but my favorite is still the Beginner’s luck smoothie.
This was a good smoothie too. I wondered if it would keep me full all morning.. I added the chia seeds that were optional, and I think that did it. It was filling and tasty. =) Wasn’t quite as exciting as yesterday’s smoothie.
This is a favorite of mine. It’s creamy and delicious, a little like strawberry ice cream! I add a handful of spinach to all my smoothies, so mine doesn’t look quite as pretty, but it still tastes amazing!
