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!

I cant believe this smoothie has cauliflower in it! It is so yummy and creamy!
Love the strawberries and banana together in this smoothie!
This smoothie was not sweet and lacked flavor. I added an extra half cup of almond milk as I had difficulty blending it. I did not like it as much as as the “day one green smoothie.”
I’m not a fan of strawberry it the seed, I like the taste of the fruit but who want to skin a strawberry. Lol anyway I still like this smoothie it was good and you didn’t even taste the cauliflower, add the chia seeds I think next time I will soak them first to change the texture.
Soooo delicious and creamy! Really good.
Soooo delicious and creamy!
Strawberry Banana: I usually add carrot to this combo, but did the cauliflower. It was delicious. I left out the chia seeds … not a fan of drinking them. I make “breakfast bombs” from my chia seed instead.
So good! Creamy and full of flavor!
Wow! Delicious!
I enjoyed this smoothie!
Easy to make tastes great.
Very good
Dream combo
I liked this smoothie. I didn’t have the frozen cauliflower so I added spinach and it didn’t seem to hurt anything. I like drinking smoothies because they taste like a milkshake.
Wasn’t as flavorful as as day 1, but still a solid option. Cauliflower was an interesting add-in. On to day 3…woohoo
This was very filling for me. The taste was too much of banana. Next time I with use half or one banana.
I use a bit os spinach so I didn’t get the pinkish color.
Overall it was good.
Day one was much tastier
This was good. Cauliflower threw me off. I should’ve added more strawberries to make it a beautiful pink color.
Califlower blended in. One thing I would not do is to freeze chia seeds. They are hard to get out of freezer bags.
This one is definitely my favorite smoothie! Strawberry and banana yummy. My 16yr old daughter loved this one too.
This one had some replacements but was still good.
Surprise! surprise, you can’t taste the cauliflower. This smoothie taste good.
Nice addition of the cauliflower, I couldn’t taste it at all, so that was good. I only used 1 banana and it still was a bit too much for my taste. It still overpowered the strawberries. Next time I’ll use half a banana and increase the amount of strawberries.
