Banana and Strawberry Smoothie
Why this recipe works
- Ready in minutes: Everything is blended together in one step, making it a fast drink for busy mornings or snacks.
- Creamy but fresh: Greek yoghurt adds body and tang, while cold milk helps the fruit blend into a smooth, drinkable consistency.
- Sweetness you can control: Ripe banana and strawberries provide natural sweetness, so the honey can be adjusted depending on the fruit.

Ingredient notes
- Use ripe fruit: A ripe banana gives the smoothie more sweetness and a creamier texture, while ripe strawberries bring fuller flavour.
- Choose milk by texture: Whole milk keeps the smoothie richer; a lighter drink or almond drink will make it slightly thinner and less creamy.
- Taste before adding more honey: Very sweet strawberries may need little extra sweetening, so blend first and adjust only if needed.
Texture tips
- For a thinner smoothie: Blend in a little more cold milk until the texture is easy to drink.
- Blend until fully smooth: Pause to scrape down the sides of the blender if fruit or yoghurt catches around the jug.
Make-ahead tips
- Best served straight away: The flavour and texture are freshest immediately after blending, while the smoothie is still cold.
- If storing briefly: Keep it in a sealed container in the fridge and stir or re-blend before drinking.

- Peel the banana. Hull the strawberries if needed, then add the banana and strawberries to a blender.
- Add the Greek yogurt, whole milk and honey. Blitz until completely smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides if needed.

Recipe notes
Tips
- For the coldest smoothie, chill the whole milk and Greek yogurt well before blending.
- If your strawberries are very sweet, start with half the honey, taste, then add the rest if you want it sweeter.
Substitutions
- Replace Honey with Agave syrup for a similar sweetness.
- Replace Whole milk with Almond drink for a lighter, dairy-free option.
Storage
- Refrigerate up to 1 days
- Best served straight away. If you need to store it, refrigerate in a sealed container and re-blend or stir well before drinking.
