How to Make McDonald’s Strawberry Banana Smoothie
It really doesn’t get any easier than this recipe.
- Frozen Strawberries
- Banana
- Crushed Ice
Put everything in your blender and mix. Enjoy right away. It makes a great on-the-go meal.
You can find the frozen strawberries in your freezer section, they are often sold near the frozen fruit. They can come in small square boxes instead of bags like you see a lot of the frozen fruit. I like to use these because the strawberries in these packages were picked when they were perfectly ripe, and they are sweetened wonderfully.

No yogurt in McD’s strawberry banana smoothies – made with the obvious 2 fruits plus peaches, white grape juice and honey.

Thank you for putting this recipe! I have a small single serve blender and this recipe worked perfectly!! It taste great
stephaniemanley
I am happy to hear it worked out well for you!
Katie Belmont
My blender won’t do anything with this. 🙁 It needs more liquid to blend.
stephaniemanley
Why don’t you add a little more liquid. You could add some fruit juice or even a little water?
Katie Belmont
Haha. By the time I added enough liquid for it to start blending, it totally watered down the smoothie to grossness. I might start letting the strawberries thaw or something. It works alright when I make it with fresh bananas and strawberries but it’s easier/cheaper to buy frozen.

The smoothies at McDonald’s are made with yogurt, but you can easily ask for NO yogurt. The only sugars are the naturally occurring sugars in the fruit. Mango pineapple is better then strawberry banana though, in my opinion.
Kellie
It would be nice if this really was McDonald’s strawberry banana smoothie…they would have a lot less calories if it were lol. They add sweeteners and yogurt to theirs.

It always tastes better when you make it yourself anyway, who needs mcdonalds 😉
