Strawberry Banana Smoothie is a perfect refreshing drink for these Spring days. I like eating something sweet once per day. It’s not a healthy habit I must admit, but I can’t help myself. 🙂 But with these sunny and warmer days coming we need to take care of ourselves and be careful not to gain much weight! This delicious Strawberry banana smoothie recipe doesn’t contain any extra sugar, instead, I used a sweet banana – the one with a spotty skin.

Here are a few tricks on how to ripen bananas faster:

All you need is a paper bag big enough to put the bananas in. Add one or several bananas depending on how many you need.

Seal the bag by folding it and put in some warm place like the top of your fridge or near the oven. The ideal temperature is 65–68ºF (18–20ºC). Sealed like this they produce ethylene gas – a hormone that triggers ripening.

Let them sit like that for about 48 hours. If you have green bananas it might need one more day for them to ripen. And they are ready!



In this recipe I used water. I like making my smoothies with water – it’s easier – I don’t have dairy-free milk always on hand. It’s delicious either way. If you are making this recipe in summer add just a little bit of water and add ice cubes. You’ll get a perfect summer drink!
