A 3 ingredient strawberry smoothie recipe that’s gluten-free, vegan, and easy to prepare in just minutes. Make this creamy and delicious strawberry banana smoothie for a healthy breakfast or snack.
Rinse, hull and then chop strawberries. You can also use frozen strawberries if you’d like to make a thicker strawberry smoothie.
Add the chopped strawberries in a blender.
Add 1 medium to large banana (roughly chopped).
Pour lite coconut milk. The coconut milk should have a thin or medium consistency. You can add some sweetener like maple syrup, jaggery, palm sugar, raw sugar or coconut sugar if you prefer. For thicker smoothie add about ¼ to ⅓ cup lite coconut milk.
Blend
Blend until smooth. If the smoothie is a bit too thick, add a splash of coconut milk and blend again.
Pour in glasses and serve strawberry smoothie straight away. Opt to serve the smoothie as it or top with some strawberry slices or chopped nuts.
Serving Suggestions
Pour into two glasses and serve the strawberry smoothie straight away. I suggest you garnish the glasses with some sliced strawberries or chopped nuts or dry fruits.
I recommend to drink the freshly blended smoothie as soon as it is made for the best flavor and taste.
The coconut milk in the smoothie will get rancid if kept at room temperature for a few hours in a warm temperature. It can also go rancid in the fridge.

Notes
Opt to add your preferred sweeteners if you like.
Both frozen strawberries and frozen bananas can be blended to make the smoothie.
If the smoothie has become too thick, blend it again add a splash of lite coconut milk.
Vice versa for thicker smoothie, add about ¼ to ⅓ cup of the lite coconut milk.
For garnish either top with fresh strawberry slices or slivered nuts like almonds or pistachios.
If you do not have bananas, double or triple the amount of strawberries or add a creamy and pulpy fruit like a ripe mango or avocado.
Swap coconut milk with almond milk, cashew milk, GMO free soy milk, oats milk or your preferred plant based milk.
You could also make this smoothie with milk or yogurt but enjoy it once a while and not everyday.
Feel free to flavor the smoothie with either vanilla or ground cinnamon or ground green cardamom.
