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.

This was soooo good! I altered it a little. I used 1-1/2 bananas, roughly 1/2 cup of unflavored soymilk, 2 handfuls of mixed frozen fruits (I think it was strawberries, mangos, peaches, and pinapples), and a dash of vanilla extract. Delicious!

This is the best smoothie I have ever had! Me and my mom use it about 5 times a week! The only thing I changed was that I only used two bananas in a double serving. Amazing recipe!

Fantastic! My sister and I make this everyday! We do add the vanilla extract. Its enough for us to each have one large smoothie. One time we made half the recipe and split it but its so good we wanted more so a half recipe makes one large smoothie.

One time we froze the banana and strawberry pieces and it was EXCELLENT. Its its still good either way.

Thanks!

Can you substitute vanilla ice cream for milk/ice cubes/vanilla extract? Seems like it would work just the same.
