Strawberry Banana Smoothie

Last month, I shared a recipe for Banana Coconut Smoothies.  Since then, I've made smoothies many times and have tried a variety of different flavor combinations.  Some attempts weren't as successful as others, but we won't talk about that today! :) 

This morning, I whipped up one of my favorite smoothies:  Strawberry Banana.  I use banana in all of my smoothies, since I have lots of sliced bananas in the freezer.  Dropping a handful of the frozen banana chunks into the blender with the rest of the ingredients keeps the smoothie cold as well as giving it a creamy milk shake texture.  Mmmmm! 

Strawberry Banana Smoothie for one

Ingredients:

• 1/2 banana, sliced and frozen
• 3-4 sliced strawberries
• 6 oz. strawberry yogurt
• 6 oz. fat-free milk
• 2 Tbs. cream of coconut

Directions:

• Add all ingredients to blender pitcher and blend until smooth. 

I drank this smoothie for breakfast this morning and nibbled on a handful of almonds.  Such a healthy, filling and TASTY breakfast!  I think I want another one for lunch!  :) 

Do you drink smoothies?  What are your favorite flavor combinations?
