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!

So smooth, creamy dreamy, easy and delicious. I will definitely make this again.
It was awesome tasting. I loved the cauliflower in it did not taste it at all. I actually had frozen cherries in my hand but put them back and got the strawberries instead (not a fan of them) and I had frozen my bananas sooooooooooooooooo my smoothie turned into a sherbert hahaha but still very good.
thank you
Strawberry banana smoothie
I liked the smoothie, but I liked them alittke sweeter, so I added honey:)
I did enjoy this smoothie and could not taste the cauliflower. Now I do like cauliflower so even if I could taste it that would have been ok.
Love this! Very flavorful and I added more cauliflower
Yummy but a very cold drink on a very cold day here.
Day #1: Strawberry Banana Smoothie
Yea!!!!! Finally a recipe that doesn’t include fruit juice that my 10 year old likes. Interested to see how the others rate with him.
I’m not a fan of bananas but enjoyed this recipe because I felt the flavor was fairly mild and my fruit wasn’t overly sweet. I tasted it per the recipe first, and then added some protein powder (flavored, because that’s all I have) and then all I could really taste was the protein powder. Stopping at the store in a bit to look for some clean, unflavored protein powder.
Day #1 : Strawberry Banana smoothie
I just made my smoothie!!! I’ve never added cauliflower to my smoothies. I love learning new ways to add fruits / veggies to my recipes. I will definitely make this smoothie again!
The smoothest, smoothie I’ve ever blended! Sad that I didn’t take a picture. I made enough for me and my preteen; she also enjoyed it (I didn’t tell her there was cauliflower in it, but you couldn’t taste it). I added protein and chai seeds and followed the recipe otherwise.
Day 1 the strawberry/banana/cauliflower smoothie was the bomb.
Very good with a nice creamy texture and strawberry flavor. Can’t taste the cauliflower. I love the addition of non-starchy veggies to help balance blood glucose.
Yum! Even with cauliflower!! Best way to get veggies in – Super easy!
#challenge
I followed the recipe exactly. I used oat milk for my liquid. It turned out great. I am so impressed each time I use my blender to see how effortlessly and smooth frozen items come out. I would make this again but I may try and use something other than banana. I’m not a big fan of bananas. I was amazed at the bonus cauliflower! I will start adding cauliflower to my recipes, easy way to sneak in some extra healthy stuff! Thanks for a great recipe.
Delicious smoothie, cauliflower and all!
Classic strawberry banana flavor with bonus nutrients thanks to cauliflower, yum!
Great tasting, easy to make smoothie!
I followed Ingredients with no substitutions and I actually liked it. A little cauliflower may be my go to sneaking in smoothies…..
Perhaps it will grow on me. Made as directed. Only saw substitutes after I made Day one. But it’s 1:15pm and havent had anything to eat yet. So will be drinking this down!
Delicious and like how there are only 4 ingredients!
