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 used fresh cauliflower and only used 1 banana. Also, I added a scoop of Ancient Nutrition’s multi collagen protein.
The smoothie was not too sweet and delicious!
This smoothie is so good. Creamy sweet and tart. I made it into a smoothie bowl and topped it with 1/2 the banana from the recipe. Also added greens powder so it isn’t as pretty but is still yummy.
It was good. It had enough sweetness
Delicious! I used Orange juice instead of mylk and it was amazing!
This easy, delicious smoothie is one I will make again and again.
Day 1. Very tasty.
Really like this smoothie. Taste the banana more than the strawberry, but sweet and filling with the chia seeds.
have always made this with Greek yogurt, frozen banana and fresh strawberries- delicious!
I like the smoothie however next time I will need to cut back on the banana and add avocado or more cauliflower. I did throw in some chia seeds for the extra boost.
Love the strawberry and banana smoothie. Used frozen bananas and cauliflower, thawed strawberries plus protein powder.
First day of the smoothie challenge! So excited to be part of it. My family and I enjoyed today’s smoothie. I added Hemp Protein + Fiber to mine and enjoyed it for lunch.

Delicious! No cauliflower flavor!
I am generally not a huge fan of strawberries in smoothies and have never put cauliflower in a smoothie. However, I think this produced a balanced taste that was fantastic. I did use dairy milk.
It took a little more than 45 seconds on high in my 13 year old Vitamix 5200 to eliminate all chunks. Very smooth. I would happily do this again in the future with cauliflower.
Added more banana and Cauliflower. Not bad but prefer more vegetables than fruit in my smoothies.
It was simple and pretty tasty. Too much banana flavor personally, so added avocado and more berries.
Very good!!! A little bit of banana aftertaste but overall good.
I loved this one! Not super sweet which I liked and the adding of cauliflower is truly brilliant! Rawk on!
I made it with listed ingredients. For me it was too much fruit. But I understand those new to smoothies may like a more fruity mix. After sampling it, I added a Tablespoon of plain whole milk greek yogurt, 1/2 stalk of celery and 3 Tbsp of Hemp protein powder (Trader Joes). This was the first time I used cauliflower, in a smoothie. I couldn’t taste it.
Thick, creamy, delicious! Couldn’t taste the cauliflower but love it was there and that I was getting extra nutrients!
