Ingredients

  • 1 frozen banana
  • 1 cup dairy-free milk of choice plus more if necessary
  • 1 zest from 1 lemon
  • ½ lemon, juiced

Equipment

  • Blender

Method
 

  1. Start by gathering all your ingredients: frozen strawberries, frozen banana, dairy-free milk, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Having everything ready makes the process smoother.
  2. Next, take your high-powered blender and add in the frozen strawberries first. This helps in ensuring they blend evenly.
  3. Then, add the frozen banana. This will provide a creamy texture that's essential for a good smoothie.
  4. Pour in the dairy-free milk. I usually start with one cup, but you can always add more later if you need to thin the smoothie out.
  5. Now, grate in the lemon zest. This small step packs a punch of flavor that brightens up the smoothie.
  6. Finally, squeeze the juice from half a lemon into the blender. Be careful to catch any seeds!
  7. Secure the lid on the blender and blend on high for one to two minutes. Watch as the ingredients swirl and combine into a smooth mixture.
  8. Check the consistency. If it’s too thick, add a splash more of the dairy-free milk and blend again.
  9. Once you have achieved a nice, smooth blend, pour the smoothie into a glass. You can even garnish it with a slice of lemon or a few extra strawberries for presentation.
  10. Now, enjoy your refreshing Strawberry Lemonade Smoothie! It makes for a perfect snack or a healthy treat any time of the day.

Notes

Store any leftover smoothie in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours. However, it’s best enjoyed fresh!
