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.

Me and my daughters added a handful of blueberries too. It was very yummy with the strawberries and bananas. We will make it again for a special summer treat to enjoy.

I just made this smoothie, and it was the bomb. I just used frozen strawberries instead of fresh ones, and I put milk, but it was just as delicious as everyone said. More recipes please!

Made it with one change, well, two changes. Okay, maybe three. First, we didn't have ice ready but the strawberries and bananas were already frozen so that worked fine and got rid of the icy texture that I really don't care for anyway. Second, we have two bags of fresh peaches from the farm sitting in our fridge so I used one frozen banana and one peach along with the ten strawberries. Used honey and added a splash of vanilla. My two year old and I both are enjoying it this morning.
