Strawberry Banana Smoothie


This is my normal go-to breakfast choice when we have bananas on hand.

The recipe is quite simple and takes minutes to put together.

Ingredients:
1 Banana
5-6 Strawberries (mine are usually small but whatever size)
1/2 or 1 scoop of vanilla protein powder or ground flax seed
3 spoonfuls of Plain or Vanilla yogurt OR greek yogurt for more thickness
2 cups of milk (i use organic skim)
Optional:
5 Ice Cubes (i do this when my strawberries aren't frozen to make it colder)

Directions:
Put it in the blender and blend. Doesn't get easier than that!

Variations:
Sometimes I do two bananas and some chunks of pineapple for a tropical version.
Or I use frozen sweet cherries and banana.
Really any fruit will work but having the banana in there adds extra sugar that you
would would probably miss if you just did a berry smoothie.
