You've heard of Strawberry-Banana as a common flavor combination, but you may be wondering..."What's with the peanut butter?"

Well, I have a confession to make.

This smoothie was inspired by one of my favorite food combinations growing up...strawberry ice cream and peanut butter topping.

Weird?

A strange combination you say?

Well, I'm going to prove that strawberry ice cream and peanut butter topping is not a strange food combination.

The evidence?

Peanut butter and jelly...strawberry jelly in fact.

I'll tell you how I made this amazing pink concoction (almost affectionately named The Nutty Fribble in honor of my childhood favorite ice cream establishment) with only 4 ingredients, which are loaded with vitamins and minerals that will make your body happy. 🙂

Enjoy your fruity smoothie!

Variations and Substitutions

Here are a few other ideas you can add in to your healthy strawberry banana smoothie, or try instead of the original simple 4 ingredients.

• Swap the coconut milk - try your dairy-free milk of choice instead. Almond milk, oat milk, or soy milk would all work.
• Add some extra natural sweetener - I think the fruits provide the perfect amount of sweetness, but if you want more natural sweetness to your smoothie, add a dash of maple syrup, honey (if not vegan), or agave.
• Swap out the natural peanut butter - You can try different nut butter if desired in your delicious smoothie.
• Add your favorite protein powder - Turn this into a strawberry banana protein smoothie by adding in a serving of your favorite protein powder.
• Add texture - Add in some chia seeds or flax seeds for some extra health benefits and some nice texture.
• Add veggies - Turn this into a super healthy drink by adding in some fresh spinach, cauliflower rice, etc. - you won't even know it's in there and it'll make it even more of a creamy smoothie.

Storing

For best results, this delicious strawberry banana smoothie recipe should be consumed when you make it. I don't recommend trying to store it for long.
