Peel the ripe bananas and cut them into smaller chunks for easier blending.
Wash the fresh strawberries thoroughly. If using frozen strawberries, ensure they are not clumped together.
In a blender, combine the banana chunks, strawberries, unsweetened almond milk, chia seeds, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and ice cubes.
Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy. If necessary, stop the blender and scrape down the sides to ensure all ingredients are well combined.
Taste the smoothie and adjust sweetness if needed by adding more maple syrup to your preference.
Pour the smoothie into two glasses and serve immediately for the best taste and texture.
