If you have ever had a Naked strawberry banana smoothie, you will know how yummy it is!
However, Naked smoothies are expensive and loaded with sugar, unfortunately.
This is why I went on a journey to create my copycat recipe. I am pleased to say, that it tastes so close to the real thing!

Optional Smoothie Variations And Recipe Notes
My copycat recipe contains 4 simple ingredients, making this smoothie super easy and quick to make.
However, if you want to elevate this smoothie a bit more, here are some suggestions:
- Protein Boost: If you are not vegan, you can either add 1/2 cup of yogurt or use a scoop of protein powder.
- Leafy Green Packed: Incorporate a handful of leafy greens such as kale or spinach, for a boost of extra nutrients.
- Seeds & Nuts Power: Incorporate a tablespoon of either chia seeds, flaxseeds, nut butter, or both seeds and nut butter!
- Swap The Juice: Don’t have apple juice? Replace it with orange juice instead.

Out of the 8 blenders tested in this recipe, only Blendjet wasn’t compatible.
If you do own a Blendjet and want to make this recipe, you could, but you would need to use a lot more liquid to make it work.
This means the smoothie won’t come out as thick as mine did.
