This strawberry banana smoothie is an absolute classic! Just a few simple ingredients combine to create a thick, creamy and cool treat. The orange juice binds it all together and the mint finishes it off with a burst of freshness.
Whether enjoyed fresh on their own or blended into smoothies, the taste of strawberries is undeniably irresistible and gives summertime vibes. If you like strawberries in your smoothies, I also made a delicious strawberry-blueberry smoothie and mango-strawberry smoothie.
Ingredients
- orange juice - No added sugar preferred.
- plain Greek yogurt - This smoothie isn’t overly sweet. You can always adjust that by swapping the plain Greek yogurt out for vanilla-flavored Greek yogurt or adding a touch of agave nectar.
- frozen strawberry slices - Using frozen fruit provides a thicker consistency and keeps it colder longer.
- frozen banana slices - This is a good way to use up bananas that are starting to brown. Simply slice them and freeze them on a baking sheet.
- fresh mint leaves and strawberries - Optional garnish.

How to Make a Strawberry Banana Smoothie
- Add ingredients. Add the orange juice, Greek yogurt, strawberries and bananas to a high speed blender in that order.
- Blend. Start blending on low speed and then blend on high until the mixture is smooth.
- Serve. Transfer to a glass. Garnish with the fresh mint leaves and strawberries if desired and serve!
Pro Tip: If you are using a magic bullet blender or one similar to it, you are going to want to add the ingredients in the opposite order, from bottom to top. This is because the design is different from a regular blender and you want the blade to hit the liquid and softer ingredients first.
