The strawberry banana smoothie is a quick and easy breakfast smoothie packed with the goodness of fruits and nuts. This is healthy and vegan too.
Strawberry is a seasonal fruit, so enjoy this vegan breakfast smoothie in season. However, you can enjoy this smoothie all season with your frozen strawberries as well.
A strawberry banana smoothie is a simple and easy-to-make smoothie. We need a few ingredients to make this healthy, filling breakfast smoothie. I have added this smoothie to my lazy vegan recipes, since this is really quick and easy for a workday breakfast.
Strawberries are a seasonal fruit and are plentifully available in cold weather in India (from October to January) and from April to June in the USA. June is the peak season for sweet strawberries there. It's a highly perishable fruit. So better to consume them fresh.
However, you can also refrigerate the strawberry es for a few days, but the quicker you eat them or u,se them, the better they taste. I make my strawberry compote, which I make often in season. Strawberry limeadeย is too good in the summer.
The smoothie is really delish when made with fresh, pulpy strawberries. However, you can enjoy the smoothies in other seasons as well with dried berries. But I love it more when made with fresh strawberries.
Adding banana to the red, sweet, tangy strawberries makes the smoothie more delicious and decadent.
