- 1 Cup Fresh Strawberries, hulled
- 1 Cup Bananas, sliced
- 3 Cup Orange Juice, freshly squeezed or store-bought
- 1 Cup Ice
- Prepare the Ingredients:
Start by washing the fresh strawberries thoroughly. Hull the strawberries by removing the green tops, then slice them in half. Peel the bananas and slice them into thin rounds.
- Blend to Perfection:
Add the prepared strawberries, banana slices, 3 cups of orange juice, and 1 cup of ice cubes to your Red Vitamix Blender. We love our red Vitamix Blender for its power and efficiency, ensuring a smooth, creamy consistency every time. Secure the blender lid and blend on high speed until all the ingredients are well combined and smooth, about 1-2 minutes. If you prefer a thinner consistency, add a little more orange juice and blend again.
- Serve Immediately:
Pour the Strawberry Banana Sunshine Smoothie into glasses and serve immediately. Garnish with a slice of strawberry or banana on the rim of the glass for an extra touch of elegance.
