Ingredients You’ll Need
Be sure to visit the recipe card below to see the full ingredient amounts and directions!
The base of this recipe is strawberries and banana! I used frozen strawberries, which give the smoothie a thick and creamy texture. You can use fresh strawberries too, just be sure to add 1/2 cup of ice to give it that tasty cold smoothie texture.
I use plain Greek yogurt in this smoothie for added protein and thickness, and also milk. You can use any milk variety you enjoy – skim, whole, 2%, or a plant-based milk.
I also add some vanilla extract and honey to give the smoothie a nice natural sweetness.
Additions and Substitutions
You can substitute the honey for another natural sweetener like maple syrup or agave nectar if you prefer. Or omit it altogether.
If you are looking for some low sodium protein powder options, I made a list of a few of our favorites.
Try adding in more fruits! If you don’t have bananas, pineapple or mango would also be super delicious. Or add orange juice instead of the milk for a fruiter smoothie.

Recipe FAQs
If the smoothie is too thick or your blender siezes up, then turn off the blender and add more milk, 1/4 cup at a time, and stir well/scrape the sides of the blender.
No, you can use fresh banana, or frozen if you happen to have it. I often peel and freeze extra bananas that are ripe to enjoy in smoothies for later.
If you have leftovers, store it in an airtight container (I like using a mason jar with an airtight lid) and refrigerate for up to a day. Shake or stir well before enjoying again.
This low sodium strawberry banana smoothie has 67mg sodium per 2-cup serving. There is sodium naturally found in milk and yogurt which is the source in this recipe.
