I’ve been on a real smoothie kick lately. You may have noticed. In the past few weeks I’ve posted a fair few! We’ve had the double thick creamy papaya smoothie, watermelon smoothie and the best damn strawberry smoothie, which is a kind of strawberries and cream vibe. As in – VERY different to this one! 
This one you see before you is a glorious 2-ingredient strawberry banana smoothie.
The freshest most delicious strawberries are blended with frozen bananas for a strawberry ice cream kind of smoothie experience.
If your strawberries are not very sweet, you might need to add a little extra sweetener in the form of some maple syrup or date honey. I didn’t need to, the strawberries I had on hand were delicious!
But you know how it is, sometimes they can be a little tart/less sweet, so if that’s the case, then a little maple syrup or date honey or even fresh dates added to the blender will sort that out.
I’m hoping you will love this strawberry smoothie, it’s thick, creamy, ice-cold, satisfying and tastes like strawberry ice cream!
Sip it through a straw or eat it with a spoon, either way it’s great.
It’s also just 2-ingredients (or 3 if you need a little extra sweetness) and comes together in 5 minutes!
So it’s perfect for a snack you can whip together at any time. My favorite time for smoothies is breakfast, or after a workout. Nothing refreshes and hydrates like fruit!

Description
Deliciously creamy strawberry banana smoothie. Just 2-ingredients and this smoothie tastes like strawberry ice cream! Vegan, healthy and fabulous!
Ingredients
- 4 Frozen Bananas (14oz/400g) – Previously peeled, quartered and frozen

Notes
*It’s a good idea to always freeze any excess ripe bananas you have on hand. Peel them, break them into quarters and freeze them in a freezer bag. That way you always have frozen bananas available for use in your smoothies.

The smoothie was good, and I liked the added sweetness of maple syrup, but I felt that there should be more strawberries and fewer bananas.

I’ve got frozen strawberries and fresh bananas, would it work the same?
That will come out a little different but still divine! 🙂
this looks so easy and delicious! do we not need to add any non vegan milk?
This is meant to be very thick and creamy, sort of like a double thick shake. So you blend the strawberries first to create the liquid and then blend the frozen bananas into that. If you prefer your smoothies a bit less thick, then definitely some non-dairy milk would be great as well. Just add it in at the same time as the strawberries, blend, and then add the frozen bananas.
Oh this is so amazing

Awesome! Thanks for the great review! 🙂
I’m interested in purchasing your 14 day vegan cleanses books. Are they mailed or is it just a PDF. I rather have the actual books.
Hi Rosa, it’s all completely digital, so nothing is mailed, there are no hard copy books. After purchasing you get emailed a link and download all the ebook files and meal plans etc to your computer.
Thank you for your response. I’ve been Vegan for about 2 years. Recently diagnosed with AFIB. I thought it was stress and anxiety. I was completely wrong would never imagine I had heart issues. I don’t have high blood pressure just feel exhausted at all times. I’m trying to find something to make me feel better and energetic. I don’t AFIB or my stomach issues over take me. I just need something to make me feel alive again. Thank you once again ?
Wow – sorry to hear that. That sounds very challenging. Sending you lots of love!
