    ARE STRAWBERRY BANANA SMOOTHIES GOOD FOR YOU?

    Yes! My strawberry banana protein smoothie is loaded with healthy benefits. I'm highlighting the gut healthy and skin healthy benefits because I'm all about eating for glowing skin.

    • Strawberries: Excellent for skin health due to their high vitamin C content, promoting collagen production and reducing wrinkles. Incorporate strawberries into your smoothie for a radiant complexion and a boost of antioxidants.
    • Banana: Supports gut health with its prebiotic fiber, nourishing beneficial gut bacteria and aiding digestion. Add bananas to your smoothie for a happy and balanced gut.
    • Hemp Seeds: Rich in omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, hemp seeds moisturize the skin and reduce inflammation, promoting a healthy complexion. Boost your smoothie with hemp seeds for skin-nourishing benefits and an anti-inflammatory boost.
    • Dairy-Free Milk (e.g., almond milk, coconut milk): Fortified with skin-friendly vitamins A and E, dairy-free milk options hydrate the skin and protect against free radicals. Opt for dairy-free milk in your smoothie for a skin-loving and dairy-free alternative.
    • Yogurt (Dairy or Plant-Based): Packed with probiotics, yogurt helps balance the skin's microbiome, improving skin health and reducing the risk of skin issues. Enhance your smoothie with yogurt for a probiotic boost and healthier skin from within.

    TIPS FOR MAKING THE BEST HEALTHY STRAWBERRY BANANA SMOOTHIE

    USE FROZEN FRUIT. Frozen fruit will keep your smoothie nice and cold for a long time.

    USE HEMP SEEDS. Flax and chia seeds tend to absorb a lot of water, so they can create a gummy texture instead of a smooth texture like hemp seeds.

    USE YOUR FAVORITE YOGURT. Pick your favorite yogurt to make a delicious high protein strawberry banana smoothie without protein powder that will keep you full longer. I love using dairy free coconut yogurt for the most skin friendly yogurt option.

    BLEND COMPLETELY. Depending on your blender, the time can vary but blend until there are no chunks of fruit left!

    VEGAN STRAWBERRY BANANA SMOOTHIE INGREDIENTS

    If you are trying to make a dairy free strawberry banana smoothie, or a vegan friendly version, here is what I use in my smoothie.

    • Frozen strawberries
    • Frozen banana
    • Dairy free milk (I use hemp seed milk or soy)
    • Dairy free yogurt (I use coconut milk yogurt)
    • Hemp seeds

    If you want to make your strawberry banana smoothie without milk, you can substitute the milk for coconut water. I like to use full fat yogurt to help with nutrient absorption.

    HOW TO MAKE MY HEALTHY BANANA STRAWBERRY SMOOTHIE

    My healthy strawberry banana smoothie is so easy to make!

    Just add all of your ingredients to a blender:

    • 1 cup frozen strawberries
    • 1 frozen banana
    • 1 Β½ cup milk of choice
    • 1 tablespoon hemp seeds
    • Β½ cup yogurt of choice

    Blend until smooth and creamy.

    Pour into a tall glass and enjoy!

    HEALTHY STRAWBERRY BANANA SMOOTHIE FOR WEIGHT LOSS TIPS

    Strawberry banana smoothies are great for weight loss as they are high in nutrients needed for metabolism and high in fiber! But, a lot of people tell me that they get so hungry only an hour after drinking a smoothie. There are 2 main reasons you get hungry after drinking a smoothie.

    The first reason is that in order to trigger your "fullness factor," you need to chew. Chewing signals your brain that you are eating.

    The second reason you are probably getting hungry so quickly is because you need more fat or protein in your smoothie. Try adding full fat yogurt or eating something on the side with it.

    If you are worried about staying full here are some things that help:

    • Eat a handful of nuts with your smoothie. When you actually CHEW your food, rather than just drinking it, your body recognizes this as eating something of sustenance. This is more likely to trigger the "fullness factor."
    • Make a slice of multigrain or whole wheat toast. This is the same idea as above. Plus, whole grains keep you full MUCH longer than processed grains because it takes your body longer to break down these hearty fibers.
    • Add old fashioned oats to your smoothie. Adding more fiber to your smoothie gives it more bulk. All of that fiber is going to make the smoothie stay in your system longer, which leads to feeling full for longer.

    FAQ'S

    Frequently asked questions about my healthy strawberry banana smoothie recipe.

    CAN I LOSE WEIGHT JUST DRINKING SMOOTHIES?

    Yes you can! But this is not sustainable and will get old fast! Stick to a smoothie a day and then make other nutrient dense meals and snacks the rest of the day.

    WHAT'S HEALTHIER, BANANA OR STRAWBERRY?

    Both have different health benefits! It is important to eat a variety of different fruits and vegetables during the week.

    HOW DO I MAKE A STRAWBERRY BANANA YOGURT SMOOTHIE?

    Add Β½ cup of plain Greek yogurt to your blender. You can replace the collagen powder with yogurt, or add it in addition to the collagen to get a super creamy banana strawberry smoothie.

    STRAWBERRY BANANA SMOOTHIE CALORIES?

    My healthy strawberry banana smoothie has 395 calories.

    HOW TO DECREASE CARBS IN SMOOTHIES?

    If you are following a low carbohydrate diet, or have blood sugar imbalances (like in PCOS or diabetes), replace half of the fruit with frozen zucchini for a cold healthy low carbohydrate strawberry banana smoothie. And make sure to use FULL fat PLAIN Greek yogurt to slow the blood sugar spike.
