This yummy no-yogurt strawberry banana peanut butter smoothie is healthy, kid-friendly, and ready in minutes. Creamy, naturally sweet, and made with just 4 simple ingredients!
Equipment
- High-speed blender
- Measuring cups
- Measuring spoons
- Knife & cutting board
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1 cup chopped strawberries or about 2 cups whole/halved strawberries, fresh or frozen
- 1/2 ripe banana
- 1 tbsp creamy peanut butter
Instructions
- Remove the green tops from fresh strawberries. Dice the strawberries into bite-sized pieces if desired to make blending easier. You can halve your strawberries or put them in whole instead instead if you prefer. If using frozen strawberries, add them in whole.
- Add 1/2 cup of milk into the blender.
- Add strawberries, banana, and peanut butter into the blender.
- Blend for about 30-60 seconds, or until it's smooth and no chunks remain. Add 1-2 tbsp of milk at a time until you reach your desired smoothie consistency.
- Serve it in a cup and enjoy!
Notes
- 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!
