Best tips for best results

Use Ripe Fruits: Ensure your banana is ripe for the best natural sweetness and creamy texture. Fresh berries will provide a vibrant flavor.
Opt for Frozen Fruits: Using frozen strawberries or bananas can give your smoothie a thicker, colder texture without needing ice, which can water it down.
Blend Thoroughly: Blend all ingredients until completely smooth to ensure there are no chunks of fruit. A high-speed blender works best for a creamy smoothie.
Taste and Adjust: Taste your smoothie before serving. If it’s not sweet enough, add a small amount of natural sweetener like honey or maple syrup. If it's too thick, add a bit more milk.
Serve Immediately: Smoothies are best enjoyed fresh. Serve immediately your banana and strawberry smoothie after blending for the best texture and flavor.
