Ingredients for Strawberry Banana Nectarine Smoothie
Please find the full list of ingredients and quantities in the recipe card at the end of the post.
- Chia seeds – use chia seeds to add some healthy fats to the smoothie.
- Nectarine – use a ripened nectarine.
- Strawberries – use fresh or frozen strawberries.
- Banana – use a ripened banana for a sweeter smoothie.
- Yoghurt – I use plain Greek yoghurt to add protein to the smoothie.
- Milk – use any type of milk which can be dairy or non-dairy.
- Honey – optionally add some honey to slightly sweeten of needed.
How to Make Strawberry Banana Nectarine Smoothie
1. Add the chia seeds to a small bowl and add 2 tablespoon water then mix. Allow to sit for 15 minutes to absorb the water. This process will make the chia seeds easier to digest.
2. Cut the nectarine and remove the stone then add the nectarine to a blender. Add in the strawberries, banana, yoghurt, milk, soaked chia seeds and honey if using. Blitz until smooth then serve. If you prefer the smoothie looser then add a little more milk. Bear in mind that if you add more milk the smoothie will taste less sweet so you can sweeten with honey.
