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.

Replaced yogurt with orange juice and protein powder. Also added frozen mango chunks. Great tropical smoothie. No sugar or honey needed. Goes down exceptionally good on a hot summer day when you don't really feel like eating anything.

If you freeze the strawberries I always get a thick smoothie. I have never used anything like Thicken up or Clear Jel.
