Variations
My favorite thing about this vegan strawberry banana smoothie recipe is how many fun and exciting ways there are to zhuzh it up. Here are three of my favorites…
Add Some Peanut Butter
Peanut butter is packed with healthy fats and fibers which makes it a great addition to your healthy morning smoothie. Not only that but, thanks to its legendary texture, it can help thicken your strawberry smoothie to the right consistency. Lastly but most importantly, this nutty mix tastes delicious mixed into this sweet fruity smoothie!
Tear In Some Fresh Herbs
Want to level up your smoothie game? I recommend adding in some fresh herbs. Sounds strange, I know, but either basil or mint are great picks to take your vegan strawberry smoothie to new realms of freshness. Trust me - you won’t be disappointed.
Spoon In Your Favorite Supplement
I’m always looking for ways to integrate healthy vegan supplements into my meals and spooning them into this strawberry banana smoothie recipe is pretty much the ultimate option. I love adding Kuli Kuli Mo’s Moringa Green Superfood Powder to my morning mix, but any protein or vitamin powder will work great too!
Storing and Freezing
Want to make your smoothie and save it for later? No problem! On top of prepping your ingredients, you can also blend and store your smoothie, ready to enjoy whenever you feel like it.
If you want to refrigerate your smoothie, I recommend storing it in a sealed jar, so you can take it out of the fridge, pop the lid off and start drinking straight away. This smoothie will keep well in the fridge for up to 3 hours (any longer and your fruit will lose it’s fresh taste).
If you want to store your smoothie for longer, I recommend popping it in the freezer - it can be kept in there for up to 3 months! You can store it either in a lidded jar or a zip lock bag - the choice is yours! When you want to enjoy your smoothie, all you need to do is take it out of the freezer and allow it to defrost to room temperature.
My favorite tip? I like to pour my smoothie mix into ice cube trays and then freeze them. This means that on a hot day I can blend the cubes and get an ice-cold smoothie in seconds! It doesn’t get much better than that!
