RECIPE COLLECTION
“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.

Cooks Tip: In the Cooks.com test kitchen, we sometimes thicken smoothies with "Thicken-Up" or "Clear-Jel" which is a modifed food starch that thickens without having to be cooked. It is available from restaurant supply stores.

Delicious! Its so hard to find a good recipe, they are always too tart, but this was perfect. I've found that if you have a sweet tooth, adding 2 tablespoons of chocolate syrup does the trick.

 Brandon (Georgia) says:
It was pretty delicious. Instead of strawberries, I used blueberries because I'm not a fan of strawberries... I used one banana, about 7 blueberries (I love my blueberries), about 1 tbsp of sugar, 2 ice cubes, and 1/4 cup milk.

 Julie (Ontario) says:
I blended the ice and fruit separately and use 2 fairly large scoops of vanilla ice cream (for full size recipe) instead of milk/yogurt. It's the best smoothie i've ever had! - if you like very thick and sweet smoothie I definitely recommend this alternative.

 Jennifer (New York) says:
So easy and really good. I left out the honey because my bananas were really ripe - made it sweet enough for me. :)

I love this recipe so much and it took me 5 minutes tops. I also used 6 ounces of yogurt from limited supplies and it was still wonderful!
