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 was a little skeptical about the cauliflower, but this was delicious! It was easy to prepare, and I felt full after drinking it.
I rate day 1 10 out of 10! I subbed mango for the banana.
DELICIOUS!!!
Wow! Cauliflower! Who would have thought?!? This smoothie is creamy strawberry banana deliciousness!
Tried as part of the smoothie challenge. I was worried it would end up too thick with all the banana + frozen cauli & strawberries but consistency and flavour was great!
Also added 1tbs hemp seeds and handful of spinach.
It’s a keeper!!
Very tasty. Day 1 of the smoothie challenge. Off to a good start. I added protein powder to make it a complete meal.
Yummy. I added spinach!
That’s a lot of banana! Maybe change the name to Banana Strawberry Smoothie. 🙂 Not being a banana fan, this is not my favorite.
SMOOOOOOTH Strawberry Banana Smoothie, great taste. Beautiful color! Adding the cauliflower who knew that getting your veggies was that easy for the morning. Thru this together in less than 5 minutes. Added coconut milk and it came out like ice cream. Loved it.
Soooooo yummy!!! Day 1 of the New Year Smoothie Challenge already off to a strong start with this delish creation. I added in 1/4 cup of Simple Green Smoothie’s homemade protein powder. 1000/10
At first thick creamy like a strawberry milkshake, mine the taste changed, I only used 1 banana and added 1/4 cup frozen cherries. I added chocolte protein powder.

I liked this smoothie but think it’s a little sweet. If you’re not a fan of sweet smoothies, I would cut back on the banana. I added some romaine lettuce which was mild and didn’t alter the flavor at all and added more fiber and nutrients. The frozen cauliflower is a great way to sneak in more veggies.
Love the day 1 strawberry, banana smoothie. I did add chia, flax, and hemp seeds as well as a fig for sweetness and a prebiotic fiber and had this a meal replacement. Delicious!
Reminds me of strawberry ice cream!
Can’t eat banana so subbed 1/4 avocado. Used 1/2 cup greek yogurt for protein and 1/2 cup milk, and fresh cauliflower. Result was a thick creamy smoothie and a decadent breakfast treat.
Very good smoothie. I loved all the flavors. I did add a few cherries since I had them on hand. I will definitely make this smoothie again. I did not taste the cauliflower at all.
I made it with 1 fresh banana and half a frozen banana and I only had vanilla unsweetened almond milk on hand. Consistency was good and you cannot taste the cauliflower. Easy ingredients to throw together and would definitely make again.
So yummy! I love the hidden cauliflower in here- can’t even taste it!
I enjoyed the strawberry and banana smoothie. I was impressed of how it good it taste as it is my first time adding cauliflower in my smoothie. I will definitely do it again.
