Strawberry Yogurt Smoothie
Use frozen strawberries for a frosty cool smoothie or fresh. For bananas, choose greenish bananas for less sugar. Greek yogurt provides more protein than regular.

Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk or dairy milk or milk of choice
- 5 ounces plain unsweetened Greek yogurt or regular yogurt
- 4 ounces strawberries, fresh or frozen 4-5 whole strawberries
- ½ dropper full berry flavored stevia drops sub honey or monk fruit
- 1 small banana greenish ones have less sugar
Instructions
- Add all ingredients to a high powered blender starting with the milk. Blend until smooth.
Notes
-
- To reduce sugar, use half of a small banana, and make it a greenish one, not a fully ripe one. That will reduce by about 6 grams of sugar.
- Add ground flaxseed: Flaxseed adds high quality fat and fiber to smoothies. I grind mine fresh in a little inexpensive spice grinder, or buy it already ground. Start with a tablespoon.
-
- Sweetener: A dropper full berry flavored stevia drops works great, or use a keto simply syrup to keep sugar down and add sweetness. Honey is another easy option. Use either a mild raw honey or a no-sugar honey like this (it's what I use).
-
- Protein powder: Protein powder is an option instead of yogurt for a no-dairy strawberry banana smoothie, or combine them to get the level of protein and creaminess you want.
-
- Vanilla: Vanilla adds nice flavor so try a little vanilla extract or vanilla paste if desired.
