WHAT YOU NEED TO MAKE THIS SMOOTHIE RECIPE

Just 5 ingredients!

Ingredients for strawberry banana chocolate smoothie

  • Banana: I use 1 frozen banana.
  • Strawberries: I use fresh strawberries that I freeze myself, although store-bought frozen strawberries would be fine, too!
  • Unsweetened Cocoa Powder: I use Dutch-processed cocoa powder, but you could use natural cocoa powder, too. Not sure what the difference is between Dutch-processed cocoa powder and natural cocoa powder? Read my post about it here!
  • Chocolate chips: I use a few semi-sweet mini chocolate chips, but you could use milk chocolate, instead.
  • Milk: I use unsweetened almond milk, but regular milk or any other plant-based milk will work, too.

ADD-INS & VARIATIONS

There are so many ways to enjoy your smoothie! Here are a few ideas:

Make it sweeter

To me, this smoothie is sweet enough, but if you want even sweeter, feel free to add your preferred sweetener, like honey, sugar, or maple syrup.

Make it vegan

Easily make this smoothie vegan by using your favorite plant-based milk and vegan chocolate chips!

Add more protein

Add some peanut butter, protein powder or a little bit of Greek yogurt. Chia seeds would also be a great option for extra protein.

Add different toppings

You can top this smoothie with some crushed nuts or fresh fruit. You could also top it with some grated chocolate or crushed Oreo cookies, if you want something more indulgent!

TIPS FOR SUCCESS

I like having smoothies right away, so I do not recommend storing this smoothie for later.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Can I make this smoothie ahead?

The only thing I would make ahead for this smoothie is freezing the fruit. You could easily chop fresh strawberries into pieces and then freeze them. I always freeze bananas whole and keep them in the freezer. I wouldn’t suggest making the entire smoothie in advance because it doesn’t taste as fresh.

Can I use fresh fruit?

Yes! But I like using frozen fruit because it makes the smoothie nice and thick without adding any ice. If you want to use fresh fruit, you’ll need to add some ice to make it thick. You might also need to add a little less milk.

How long should you blend a smoothie?

I think 1 - 2 minutes is enough.

What does banana add to a smoothie?

Apart from being really healthy, bananas also add natural sweetness to smoothies. Bananas also give smoothies that characteristic creamy texture, especially when they’re frozen in advance.
