Creamy Banana Strawberry Pudding Smoothie

• •2 piece Ripe bananas (peeled and roughly chopped)
• •1.5 cup Strawberries (fresh or frozen, hulled)
• •0.5 cup Strawberry yogurt (or vanilla yogurt)
• •1 cup Ice
• •1 cup Milk (dairy or non-dairy)
• •3 tbsp Banana instant pudding mix (dry mix, not prepared)

Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare your fruit: Peel and roughly chop the ripe bananas. If using fresh strawberries, hull them.

2. 2

   Add the prepared bananas and strawberries to a high-speed blender.

3. 3

   Add the strawberry yogurt, ice, milk, and the dry banana instant pudding mix to the blender with the fruit.

4. 4

   Secure the lid and blend on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth and thick. Scrape down the sides if necessary to ensure all ingredients are incorporated.

5. 5

   Pour into glasses and serve immediately. If you prefer a thinner smoothie, add a little more milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, and blend again until desired consistency is reached.

Chef's Tips

• 💡For an even colder and thicker smoothie, use frozen banana slices and frozen strawberries.
• 💡Adjust the amount of milk to achieve your preferred consistency. Add more for a thinner drink, less for a thicker, spoonable smoothie.
• 💡If you like a sweeter smoothie, a touch of honey, maple syrup, or agave nectar can be added before blending.
