Today we want to share a light and very fresh strawberry smoothie recipe with you. This one’s ideal for hot summer days when you need something refreshing, yet incredibly tasty.
The main ingredients in this smoothie are strawberries, bananas, apples, and mineral water.
If you want a strawberry smoothie with yogurt, we have a recipe for a simple Strawberry Yogurt Smoothie that you might like.
This smoothie, on the other hand, is a bit fancier. In our opinion, the mint leaves make the smoothie feel slightly like a delicious cocktail.
A great thing about this strawberry banana mint smoothie is that it’s quite low in calories: 350 ml (11.8 oz) serving contains only 163 calories.
This dairy-free smoothie is almost 100% fruit and it is rich in dietary fiber (27% of RDA), vitamin C (114% of RDA) as well as vitamin B6 (25% of RDA).
Did you know that 100 grams of strawberries give you 97% of the recommended daily intake of vitamin C?
The same amount of strawberries contains 2 grams of dietary fiber, which amounts to 8 percent of the RDA (recommended dietary allowance).
In this recipe, one serving should contain 125 grams of strawberries, which means that you would get a bit more vitamin C than “needed” and some 10% of the dietary fiber from just one serving!
Apples on the other hand are even richer in dietary fiber: 17% of RDA in just one medium-sized apple. However, apples do not contain that much vitamin C. One medium-sized apple contains “only” 14 percent of the RDA.
