Protein Strawberry and Banana Smoothie
This Protein Strawberry and Banana Smoothie is thick, refreshing and naturally sweet, with a creamy texture from the Greek yoghurt and frozen banana. The strawberries add a bright, fruity flavour while the honey gives a gentle sweetness without overpowering the smoothie. It is a satisfying high protein drink that tastes smooth, light and filling.
It works as a macro-friendly version of a classic strawberry banana smoothie because it uses fat free Greek yoghurt to increase protein while keeping fat low.

How to Make Protein Strawberry and Banana Smoothie
See recipe card for ingredient quantities and full instructions.
Add the frozen banana, strawberries, fat free Greek yoghurt, almond milk and honey to the blender. The frozen banana should go in with the liquid so the blades can move easily and create a smooth texture.
Blend until the mixture looks creamy with no chunks of fruit left. If the smoothie is too thick, add a small splash of almond milk and blend again until it reaches the consistency you prefer.
Pour into a glass and serve straight away. This smoothie is best when freshly blended and still cold and thick.
Tips
- Use ripe fruit. Ripe bananas and strawberries reduce the need for extra sweetener.
- Add in the liquids first. This helps the blender move more easily, especially when using frozen fruit.
- Serve straight away: Smoothies are best enjoyed fresh because the texture can thin as the frozen fruit melts.
Recipe Variations & Substitutions
- Add extra protein: Blend in a scoop of vanilla protein powder if you want a higher protein smoothie.
- Replace strawberries: Replace some of the strawberries with raspberries or blueberries for a different flavour.
- Milk variation: Replace the unsweetened almond milk with another milk of choice if preferred, though this may change the nutrition.
Storage
This smoothie is best enjoyed straight after blending. If needed, it can be stored in the fridge for up to 24 hours in a sealed bottle or jar. Shake well before drinking.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, swap the banana for extra yoghurt plus a small handful of ice, or use a little sweetener if needed.
