This banana strawberry smoothie is a classic that most of us grew up loving! It's a great way to start your day, to enjoy it as a snack, or have it as a post-workout quick smoothie. It's nutritious, delicious, and packed with plant-based protein.

Ingredients
2cupsstrawberriesfresh or frozen
1bananafresh or frozen
¼cupquick oatsoptional
1tablespoonhemp seedsoptional
1cupmilkplant-based or not
1cupice cubesoptional
Instructions
Place all of the ingredients in the blender jug, cover, and blend until it's well blended. If you're using frozen banana, then you might not need to use any ice cubes.
If your smoothie is too thick, and you need to thin it out a little, just add a little bit more milk or a splash of water and blend again.
Serve in glasses and enjoy!
Notes
Recipe Variations:
The banana is quite sweet so I don't usually add any additional sweeteners, but feel free to add a date or 1 teaspoon of honey or maple syrup.
Add pure vanilla extract for extra flavor.
Add Greek yogurt for extra creaminess and richness.
If you like protein powders, then feel free to add that to the smoothie.
Add any seeds that you like for extra nutrient value. I love adding hemp, chia, and flaxseed.
If you end up making too much smoothie, you can store in the fridge to enjoy later but it is recommended that you consume it within 24 hours.
