“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.

Strawberry Banana Smoothie

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.

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 love this very simple recipe. I'm diabetic so I left out the honey and sugar. It still tastes great with the milk and natural sweetness of the fruit. I am definitely making my own from here on out. Thank you.

This was very good and I used milk and I think it tastes better with more strawberries but that is my opinion. :)

WOW - very good! I used frozen fresh strawberries and frozen ripe banana slices that I had in the freezer. NO ICE CUBES were needed since the fruit was frozen. I used 2 tablespoons of honey, 3/4 cup of 2% milk and 1/8 teaspoon vanilla. The flavor was delicious and made a thick smoothie, perfect to drink with a straw. My husband and I loved this recipe and will definitely made it again. Thank you!
