Pin ItI have lots of delicious smoothie recipes on my site (I really love smoothies!), but I think the most classic of all is this Strawberry Banana Smoothie. It’s got a short ingredient list and I really think everyone loves the combination of strawberry and bananas. You can’t go wrong! And the best part? My kids BEG for this smoothie! They think it is a treat and I love that it is packed with healthy ingredients. Everyone wins!
Ingredients
I love this ingredient list! It’s short, simple, and I’m guessing you’ve got these items in your kitchen already. We’ll be blending…
- Frozen strawberries-I like to use frozen strawberries because I can keep them in the freezer at all times, no matter the season, and they are usually more affordable. Plus, frozen strawberries will make a thicker smoothie. If you have fresh strawberries, you can use them, just make sure you use a frozen banana or add ice to thicken it up.
- Banana – The more brown, the sweeter your smoothie will be! If you have bananas going brown on the counter you can always peel, cut, and freeze them. You can use a fresh or frozen banana. Just make sure you use one frozen fruit, either the strawberries or the banana.
- Milk – Use any kind you like. I prefer unsweetened vanilla almond milk or even my Homemade Kefir!
- Plain Greek yogurt– I like to use plain Greek yogurt because I always have it in the fridge and it is lower in sugar than sweetened yogurts. You can use vanilla yogurt if you prefer it.
- Frozen cauliflower – I promise you can’t taste it and it actually gives the smoothie a super creamy texture. I highly encourage you to add it in!
- Vanilla extract– Just a splash for sweet vanilla flavor!

How to Make a Strawberry Banana Smoothie
Smoothies are so EASY to make. Simply place all of the ingredients in a high powered blender and blend until smooth! I use this blender and I love it! A good blender really is key for making sure all of the ingredients get blended up well. You don’t want a chunky smoothie, you want a nice and creamy smoothie:)
Pour into a glass or jar and enjoy! I like to use these reusable straws.

Looks mouthwatering!
Maria – new to cauliflower in smoothies. Do you use florets or can you use frozen / riced cauliflower? Thanks so much!
I use florets, but I have a powerful blender. If you don’t have a powerful blender, use riced, it is easier to blend. Both work well:) I hope you love the smoothie! I promise you can’t taste the cauliflower!
I like your recipes. I love to cook too
I love this recipe! what is the purpose of the cauliflower?
It makes the smoothie extra creamy AND it’s an easy way to add a serving of veggies! You can leave it out if you want, but I love boosting my smoothies with more veggies! And my kids don’t even know it’s in there:)
I love strawberries and it is a very nice drink with banana.

Didn’t have frozen cauliflower, but otherwise made per the recipe. Turned out well. Wasn’t sweet enough for my tastes so may need to let banana ripen more or add a touch of honey next time.
Tangy, no sugar crash! Delicious I love that it has cauliflower, you don’t even taste it!!
YAY!!
super
Fast and easy. Very satisfying as an afternoon snack or dessert.
The recipe looks amazing.
Question – is the cauliflower steamed / cooked and frozen or is it raw?
Thanks
Frozen
I loved it! I added 2 small dates and little bit more of milk.
It is AMAZING! I didn’t have strawberries so I used mangos. It is now my favorite smoothie. So great that I can also get a serving of veggies with it. I can’t even taste the cauliflower! It’s a family fav now.
So glad you love the smoothie!
