Strawberry Banana Honey Smoothie with Basil and Mint

This strawberry banana smoothie blends frozen fruit with lemon, basil, mint, and a touch of Orange Blossom Honey. Choose rice milk or coconut water for a lighter drink, or plain yogurt for a creamier texture.

Makes: 2 servings
Blend time: About 1 minute

Ingredients

• 1 cup rice milk, coconut water, or plain yogurt, plus more if needed
• 1 cup frozen strawberries
• 1 frozen banana, roughly chopped
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon packed chopped basil leaves
• 1 tablespoon packed chopped mint leaves
• 1 teaspoon Weeks Honey Farm Florida Raw Orange Blossom Honey, plus more to taste if desired

How to Make the Smoothie

1. Add the liquid first. Pour the rice milk, coconut water, or yogurt into the blender.
2. Add the remaining ingredients. Add the frozen strawberries, frozen banana, lemon juice, basil, mint, and Orange Blossom Honey.
3. Blend. Start on low speed, then increase to high and blend until completely smooth, about 1 minute.
4. Adjust the texture. If the smoothie is too thick, add the chosen liquid a tablespoon or two at a time and blend again.
5. Serve. Taste and add more honey if needed, then divide between two glasses and enjoy immediately.

Easy Variations

• Use plain yogurt for a thick, creamy smoothie bowl and add fresh fruit on top.
• Use coconut water for a lighter, more refreshing blend.
• Leave out either basil or mint for a simpler fruit-forward flavor.
• Add a few ice cubes if using fresh instead of frozen fruit.

Why Orange Blossom Honey Works

Orange Blossom Honey has bright citrus-floral notes that complement strawberries, banana, lemon, basil, and mint without making the smoothie taste heavy.
