Equipment

  • Blender

Ingredients
  

  • 1 teaspoon honey optional, for added sweetness
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups frozen strawberries
  • 1 ripe banana peeled and sliced
  • 1 1/2 cups 355ml full-fat milk
  • 1 tablespoon strawberry jam

Instructions
 

Step 1: Gather Your Ingredients

  • Start by gathering everything on your counter. Having all the ingredients within arm’s reach makes the process smoother. You want to grab those frozen strawberries, banana, milk, strawberry jam, honey, and vanilla extract.

Step 2: Prep Your Fruits

  • For this smoothie, take that ripe banana and slice it into coin-sized pieces. It doesn’t have to be perfect; remember, it’s all going to blend together!

Step 3: Load the Blender

  • Into your blender, add in the frozen strawberries, banana slices, milk, and strawberry jam. If you decided on the honey, toss it in too. Lastly, add the vanilla extract for a hint of flavor.

Step 4: Blend it Up

  • Secure the lid and blend on high until all the ingredients are combined well. You want it smooth but not too runny. If it’s thicker than you like, just add a splash more milk.

Step 5: Taste and Adjust

  • Here’s the fun part! After blending, take a quick taste. Adjust sweetness if needed by adding honey. Blend for a few more seconds if you add anything.

Step 6: Pour and Serve

  • Once satisfied with the taste, pour the smoothie into your favorite glass. You can top it with a few extra slices of banana or a sprinkle of granola for texture.

Notes

  • Frozen Strawberries: They freeze beautifully and retain all their nutrients. They give that delightful chill which is perfect for smoothies.
  • Banana: This fruit is not just sweet but packed with potassium—good for heart health. A ripe banana lends a creaminess which is essential for a thick smoothie.
  • Full-Fat Milk: This adds richness. If you’re dairy-free, swap it with almond or oat milk. You’ll barely notice a difference!
  • Strawberry Jam: It acts as a natural sweetener. I always check for options with no added sugars for a healthier choice.
  • Honey: It’s optional, but a drizzle goes a long way if you like a sweeter treat.
  • Vanilla Extract: It enhances flavors and adds depth. A little splash makes a noticeable difference.
