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 really liked the strawberry/cauliflower smoothie. I have never used almond milk before in a smoothie and was pleasantly surprised at how good this was. I personalized my smoothie with using 1 banana and adding hemp protein powder. I would make this one again.
I love the strawberry banana smoothie, can’t even taste the cauliflower.
I made cashew milk on my Vitamix and the smoothie was delish! I made it with mango and avocado and loved it.
Great combo of fruit with cauliflower!
Left out cauliflower but will try it next time. 2% milk and unsweetened almond milk split.
Great taste. Added a scoop of grass fed organic whey protein powder.
I had made
This smooth before in other challenges and often is my to go challenge. My only recommendation is to make it and drink it.
The colour changes after a while.
Enjoyed this smoothie. I left out the cauliflower and and some vanilla protein powder. Yummy!
Thick and creamy. This smoothie wasn’t very sweet but very tasty. The cauliflower was a surprise and most likely the reason for it being so thick and creamy. I couldn’t taste the cauliflower, I’ll use it again in another smoothie as I go through the year.
Strawberry banana smoothie #challenge
Can’t even taste cauliflower…going to use in all my smoothies.
I really loved the smoothness of the smoothy! And that sneaky cauliflower wasn’t even noticed! Day 1 – YUM!
I added maple syrup
A great flavor combination and I didn’t notice the cauliflower. Definitely going to add more veggies to future smoothies!
Delicious and creamy! I could not taste the cauliflower which I was pleasantly surprised by.
I added spinach, walnuts, cacao nibs! This is a very yummy and refreshing smoothie! Love the cauliflower!!
Love this smoothie! Will be making this one again!
Added spinach, hemp seeds, chia, and flax. Very good
Delicious flavor and beautiful color. You would never know there was cauliflower in it. Great way to sneak in some veggies. I would probably just go with 1 banana because it was sweeter than what I normally make.
Creamy and not too sweet. I added protein and spinach so color is not as pretty. But tastes amazing
Not too sweet. Very pretty pink color. Good thickness. Amazing that it contains cauliflower; couldn’t taste it!
