This Strawberry-Banana Sunshine Smoothie is a quick and healthy treat that combines the sweetness of strawberries and bananas with the tangy zest of orange juice. Packed with vitamins, antioxidants, and fiber, it's the perfect way to energize your day and support your well-being.
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.
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.
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.
