A delicious and refreshing Strawberry Banana Smoothie with Coconut Milk, only 3 ingredients, and you are ready to face even the hottest summer. A vegetarian and vegan-friendly drink.
Smoothies are great way of starting your day right. If you are short of time to enjoy a proper breakfast, throw some of your favourite fruit or/and vegetables in the blender together with your regular milk or plant-based milk, and you get one healthy smoothie that is nutritious and delicious.
And it keeps you full for long too. There is no right or wrong here, and crazy combinations are allowed, whatever takes your fancy, just go for it. Strawberries and bananas just make one happy couple, and they work great together. So, no wonder this is one of my favourite drink.
One note here! Make sure the strawberries and bananas you use are well ripen, they have a natural sweetness that gives that awesome taste we love. Summer time is the best season for strawberries, so do take advantage of it. And, by the way, never ever spoil the taste and nutritional value of a smoothie by adding refined sugar. That's just wrong!
How to make a strawberry and banana smoothie
Well, this is almost embarassing, but it's really just a matter of throwing everything in the blender and blending until smooth. It's that simple! Well, perhaps I should point out that the leafy stems of the strawberries should be removed, although that's pretty obvious, right?
Now, when it comes to coconut milk, you can either use the canned coconut milk, with usually has the coconut cream on top, or the drinkable coconut milk that usually comes in a carton.
Note! If you use the canned coconut milk, you can either shake it well to mix the cream with the milk, or scoop out the coconut cream and use it in any other recipe, it's entirely up to you.
If you like smoothies, how about my Lime Kiwi Spinach Smoothie? It's equally delicious, and bursting of vitamins and minerals too.

Strawberries and coconut sound like a perfect combination for warm summer days. I agree with you about strawberries, too. I can't get enough of them in the summer months, especially when they're locally grown. The imported ones in supermarkets over the winter are definitely not for me.

You are right, Millie, supermarket fruit are tastelss. Nothing compares to the fresh fruit straight from the farmers. I'm going to Romania this week to visit my family and l cannot wait to eat some fresh strawberries straight from the garden, they are so sweet and juicy. No chemicals whatsoever.

If you use frozen strawberries, you don't need to cool. Also make sure your coconut milk is fresh. I think mine had been in the fridge too long
