Fresh strawberries and banana: the perfect base for your smoothie.
Why strawberry and banana?
Strawberries provide a pleasant freshness, while bananas give the smoothie its typical creaminess. Together they create what is probably the most popular fruit mix of all time, which delights young and old alike.
The blender contains strawberries, banana pieces, yogurt and milk, ready to blend.
All ingredients are ready in the mixer for creamy enjoyment.

What should you look for in the ingredients?

The riper the banana, the sweeter and creamier your smoothie will be. Fresh, ripe strawberries provide the best flavor. Frozen strawberries are perfect when you want an extra dose of coolness or don't have fresh fruit on hand.

The trick for extra creaminess:
A small dash of yogurt or plant-based drink (like oat or almond milk) makes your smoothie even smoother. If you like it vegan, simply choose the plant-based alternative.
