I love this satisfying strawberry smoothie! With 6 grams of protein and 7 grams of fiber, this utterly delicious strawberry banana smoothie will keep you full and energized for your day. Jump to the Strawberry Banana Smoothie Recipe or read on to see our tips for making it. We adore this easy strawberry smoothie. Banana is blended with strawberries for a naturally sweet and creamy base. Then we add extra nutrition with zucchini (you don’t really taste it), nut or seed butter, chia seeds and cinnamon. Banana adds creaminess, but it doesn’t stop there. They are a nutritional powerhouse packed with heart-healthy potassium, vitamin B6 and fiber.

They also provide a good dose of fiber, folic acid, manganese and potassium. Try our Basic Strawberry Smoothie.Zucchini also adds creaminess.
