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!

Another winner! Loved the creamy texture.
I like today’s smoothie even more than yesterday’s! It’s so thick and creamy! I added a little crushed ice to make it really cold.
Delicious! Due to allergies I used Ripple Pea Protein Milk. This recipe will be a regular!
You can’t go wrong with a strawberry banana combination.
Classic combination makes for a great smoothie!
This has cauliflower in it?!? I can’t even taste it! Since joining this challenge my family didn’t want to be left out. They loved this smoothie and were shocked that it contained cauliflower.
Sneaky veggie ninja! Way to keep your family health Carol!
Love the taste of strawberries and would never guess there’s cauliflower in this!
I only used one banana and substituted Vital Proteins Collagen for the protein powder. It was not sweet … I’m sure because I cut back on the total bananas recommended. It was also too thick, so I had to add a couple splashes of coconut water to thin it down. Would not make this one again.
The Strawberry Banana Smoothie was delicious! First time having cauliflower in a smoothie. Didn’t taste the cauliflower, but felt good about having the addition of a healthy vegetable to start my day.
I wasn’t sure about the cauliflower but was pleasantly surprised. It added a creaminess to the smoothie and you don’t taste the cauliflower flavor…so I’ll give this a YUM
Cauliflower in a smoothie…. game changer! SOOO delicious.
Deliciously rich, smooth and sweet so creamy. A great meal replacement ❤️
Yummy
Cauliflower is a new smoothie addition for me. I can’t taste it at all. This one is very thick I added more water.
I was really wondering about the cauliflower taste in this smoothie but it was fantastic!!!
I really like the smooth and creamy texture of this smoothie. It has a very subtle taste. I subbed the almond milk out for Flax. I usually use a juice base for all of my smoothies so the milk (and the cauliflower) was interesting. Next time I will use riper bananas to sweeten it up a bit. Also will use black chia seeds vs white next time for color contrast!
Mine was more thicker than creamy but it was still delish!
I’ve been having your smoothies for my breakfast ever since the Winter Challenge. I’ve never tried this one before and this was sooo good. I now have a new one to incorporate into my daily breakfast Smoothie routine.
Forgot the stars
Very good! Can’t taste the cauliflower for those who don’t like it. Great way to get in the veggies!
Good but too sweet for me.
Totally delicious! I love starting the day with a smoothie and this one was excellent. I feel so energized!
Refreshing!
Very refreshing and colorful. I teresting use of veggies. Very appetizing, i definately feel very good drinking it. Also its quiet easy, chances are u already have the ingredients
Delicious! You can never go wrong with strawberries and banana. This is a first time I’ve used cauliflower in a smoothie. I never would have thought to do that. Doesn’t change the flavor just gives the added health benefits.
