Ingredients & Substitutions
- Fresh or frozen strawberries – I used fresh strawberries for this recipe, but frozen strawberries will also work. Just note that frozen strawberries will give your smoothie a thicker consistency. Pick fresh strawberries that have a bright red hue to make sure they are ripe and sweet!
- Ripe banana – The riper the banana, the sweeter your smoothie will be. Plus, ripe bananas tend to blend more easily into a smoothie. Frozen bananas should also work for this recipe, but I definitely recommend using a fresh banana when you can!
- Peanut Butter – Since we are making this strawberry banana smoothie without yogurt, I added some peanut butter to make it a little bit more creamy. You can definitely skip the peanut butter if you prefer a nut-free smoothie, or you could use almond or sunflower seed butter instead.
- Milk – I used 2% cow milk for this recipe, but you can use whole cow milk, almond milk, soy milk, or any other type of milk you prefer. The consistency and flavor of the smoothie may change slightly based on which type of milk you use.
substitution ideas
📌 Go dairy-free – use soy milk, almond milk, or oat milk instead of cow milk
📌 Go nut-free – skip the peanut butter, or use sunflower seed butter
📌 Use frozen fruit instead of fresh fruit, but just note that the smoothie will come out a little thicker when using frozen fruits
📌 Experiment with different fruits to change up the flavor! Blueberries, mango, pineapple, and peaches would all taste delicious in this recipe

How to Make the Strawberry Banana Peanut Butter Smoothie
Notes & Suggestions
- Frozen vs. fresh fruit: You can use either one, but just note that the consistency of your smoothie will change depending on which one you use. Frozen fruits will make your smoothie thicker compared to fresh fruits. If you find that your smoothie is too thick, you can add more milk until the smoothie hits your desired consistency.
- Adding other fruits: You can definitely add other fruits to this smoothie! Blueberries, mango, peach, and pineapple would all taste amazing and add some extra nutrients. You will likely have to add more milk to balance out the extra fruit.
- Make it dairy-free: To make this smoothie completely dairy-free, you can use a plant-based milk like oat milk or almond milk.
- Peanut-free option: If allergies are a concern, swap the peanut butter for sunflower seed butter or almond butter (if safe for your child). Or just skip the nut butter entirely, the smoothie will still taste delicious!
- For extra creaminess: You can toss in a few slices of avocado — just be sure to blend well and add a little extra milk if needed!
