Ingredients in this strawberry orange banana smoothie recipe
You will need just 4 simple ingredients to make this dairy free strawberry orange banana smoothie:
- Frozen strawberries: I recommend using frozen strawberries instead of fresh so that you do not need to add additional ice cubes.
- Banana: Feel free to use a fresh or frozen one to naturally sweeten this smoothie.
- Orange: There is no orange juice concentrate in this recipe, just one fresh orange packed with vitamin C.
- Almond milk: To help get the right consistency and keep the smoothie vegan and dairy free. You can use any milk you would like but I like to use almond or cashew milk. For a tropical twist, try coconut milk.
Do not like bananas? You can easily swap 1 cup frozen pineapple for a delicious, tropical flavor!
Nutritional Boosters:
- Flaxseed meal: This is one of my favorite ingredients to add to smoothies for a little boost of fiber and minerals as well as healthy plant-based fatty acids. Usually a tablespoon is plenty!
- Chia seeds: Add in a tablespoon of chia seeds to your smoothie for a boost of healthy fats and fiber. Great to slow down digestion and keep you fuller longer!
- Hemp seeds: For a boost of healthy fats, omegas and minerals.
- Oats: Add about 1/3 cup oats to your smoothie for additional thickness and heartiness. Do not use steel cut oats as they will not blend well.
- Organic spinach: If you are looking to get more greens in your smoothie, try adding a few cups of spinach. It may turn the smoothie a different color, but you will not be able to taste the spinach.
- Greek yogurt: Add a boost of protein with a scoop of Greek yogurt (or your favorite, dairy free yogurt). You may have to reduce the almond milk to 1/2 cup when adding yogurt.
- Protein powder or collagen peptides: Another great way to add some protein. I recommend a plain or vanilla flavored protein powder in this recipe. Vegan, collagen and whey all work!
