Directions

<ol class="no-list-style"><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 1</h4>Prepare your fruits by washing the strawberries thoroughly, removing the green tops, and slicing them in half. For the bananas, choose ones that are ripe with some brown spots – these will be sweeter and blend more smoothly. Peel and slice them into chunks to help your blender process them more easily.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 2</h4>Add the prepared strawberries and bananas to your blender. The order of ingredients matters for smooth blending – starting with softer ingredients helps create a vortex that pulls down firmer ingredients. Pour in the milk and add the yogurt on top of the fruit.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 3</h4>Warm the Nutella slightly for 10-15 seconds in the microwave to make it more pourable. This helps it incorporate more evenly throughout the smoothie rather than clumping. Add the softened Nutella to your blender.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 4</h4>Add the ice cubes last, as they'll help thicken the smoothie and create that perfect cold, frosty texture. If your fruit isn't very sweet, you can add the optional tablespoon of honey now (taste after blending before deciding).</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 5</h4>Blend on high speed for 30-45 seconds until completely smooth. Start on a lower speed and gradually increase to high to prevent air pockets from forming around the blades. If the mixture is too thick, add a splash more milk; if it's too thin, add a few more ice cubes.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 6</h4>For an extra special presentation, drizzle a small amount of warmed Nutella around the inside of your serving glasses before pouring in the smoothie – this creates beautiful chocolate streaks as you enjoy your drink.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 7</h4>Pour the smoothie into your prepared glasses and serve immediately. The mixture will separate if left to sit too long. For an indulgent touch, top with a swirl of whipped cream, a few fresh strawberry slices, banana chips, and a light dusting of chocolate shavings. Enjoy your delicious treat!</li></ol>

Chef’s Notes

A few helpful details for making this recipe.

Can I make this smoothie healthier without sacrificing taste?

Yes! Use reduced-sugar chocolate hazelnut spread, unsweetened almond milk, Greek yoghurt for extra protein, and skip the honey. Add a tablespoon of chia seeds or flaxseed for omega-3s and fibre. The natural sweetness from ripe bananas provides plenty of flavour while keeping it nutritious.

What's the best blender setting for creating perfectly smooth fruit smoothies?

Start on a low setting for 10-15 seconds to break down larger ingredients, then gradually increase to high speed for 30-45 seconds. This technique creates a vortex that pulls ingredients down toward the blades, ensuring a silky-smooth texture without air pockets or fruit chunks.

How can I turn this chocolate hazelnut smoothie into a complete breakfast?

Transform this treat into a balanced breakfast by adding 1-2 tablespoons of protein powder, a handful of oats for sustained energy, and a tablespoon of nut butter for healthy fats. These additions boost nutrition and satiety while maintaining the delicious chocolate-fruit flavour profile.
