“STRAWBERRY BANANA SMOOTHIE” IS IN:

STRAWBERRY BANANA SMOOTHIE 
10 oz fresh strawberries, stems removed
2 ripe bananas
3 tablespoons sugar or honey
1 cup ice cubes
3/4 cup milk, yogurt, kefir or coconut water

Wash strawberries and remove banana peels. In a blender, process all ingredients until smooth. For a little extra flavor, a few drops of vanilla or almond extract may be used, but do not overdo as a few drops go a long way.

This recipe is good but there is an unexpected taste to it. I've tried all kinds of strawberry banana smoothie and I think this is 3rd place on my list.

I usually tweak my smoothies and this one is very similar to how I make mine. I use Greek vanilla yogurt for the extra protein and flavor instead of adding vanilla extract, and freeze my fresh strawberries and bananas overnight instead of using cubes cuz I like my smoothie a little thicker. The cubes water it down and makes it less sweet I think. I add a tsp. of honey too, but it's really not necessary because of the vanilla yogurt.

Healthy tip #1 - use Splenda sugar and read the back to see how much Splenda sugar to use. It's healthier. I'm a baker. I always use it in my cakes and oh also the reason I looked here is my customer wants a smoothie cake,

Wow! I just bought one of those ninja blenders. But haven't gotten a chance to get to the store to buy fruit yet. I did have strawberries and bananas (my kids favorite fruits), so I decided to look up a smoothie recipe for those two. This one popped up first and I'm glad it did! It was quick, easy, & tasty! Thanks for submitting this!

This is absolutely the best strawberry banana smoothie I've ever had. I will never use any other recipe! I'll just add a scoop of protein and drink it whenever I want a snack!
