• 1 ripe banana, peeled and sliced
• 1 cup strawberries, hulled and sliced (fresh or frozen)
• ¾ cup nonfat milk (or almond milk for dairy-free)
• 1 tablespoon turbinado sugar (or honey/agave, to taste)
• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 scoop vanilla protein powder (optional, for a smoothie boost)
• 1 cup ice cubes

Ingredient Notes:

• Bananas: Use ripe, spotty bananas for maximum sweetness.
• Strawberries: Fresh or frozen, but frozen berries can make the smoothie creamier.
• Sweetener: Turbinado sugar mimics the signature flavor; try honey or agave for alternatives.
• Milk: Almond or oat milk works for dairy-free options.
• Ice: Helps achieve that frothy texture; use frozen fruit for a creamier base.
