Preparation

Step 1: Gather Your Ingredients

Firstly, gather all your ingredients. Make sure your banana is ripe and your strawberries are fresh. If you're using frozen strawberries, there's no need to thaw them. You can use any type of milk you prefer, such as cow's milk, almond milk, or soy milk. If you want your smoothie to be a bit sweet, get your favorite sweetener ready. Ice cubes are optional but they can make your smoothie more refreshing.

Step 2: Prepare Your Fruits

Peel the banana and cut it into slices. If you're using fresh strawberries, wash them thoroughly and remove the stems. If your strawberries are large, you may want to cut them in half.

Step 3: Blend Your Ingredients

Put the banana slices, strawberries, milk, sweetener (if using), and ice cubes (if using) into a blender. Blend until smooth. The blending time may vary depending on your blender, but it usually takes about 1-2 minutes. If your smoothie is too thick, you can add a bit more milk and blend again.

Step 4: Taste and Adjust

Once your smoothie is smooth, give it a taste. If it's not sweet enough for you, you can add more sweetener and blend again. If it's too thick, add more milk. If it's too thin, add more banana or strawberries and blend again.
