Gather your ingredients
Swaps for milk
Instead of milk
- Unsweetened soy milk: The same amount. The closest plant milk for baking: its protein helps things brown and set.
- Unsweetened oat milk: The same amount. Creamy and mild with a hint of sweetness.
- Unsweetened almond milk: The same amount. Thinner and less rich, so cakes are a little paler and drier.

Swaps for Greek yogurt
Instead of yogurt and Greek yogurt
- Regular yogurt, strained: About 1⅓ cups regular yogurt for each cup of Greek. Close to Greek yogurt once strained; unstrained, dips and sauces come out runny.
- Sour cream: The same amount. Richer and less tangy.
- Plant-based yogurt: The same amount, plain and unsweetened. Coconut yogurt is rich but tastes of coconut; soy yogurt is closest in protein.

Swaps for honey
Instead of honey
- Maple syrup: The same amount. Thinner, with a maple flavor; a little less sweet.
- Agave syrup: A little less (about ¾ the amount). Sweeter and very neutral; thinner.
- Light corn syrup or golden syrup: The same amount. Less sweet and neutral (golden syrup tastes buttery).
Don't give honey, even baked into food, to babies under 1 year old.

Add the banana and frozen strawberries.

If the smoothie is too thick to blend, add more milk 2 tablespoons at a time and blend again.

Taste and blend in the honey if you want it sweeter. Pour into glasses and serve right away.
