Strawberry Banana Smoothie
I am a huge fan of smoothies, and Strawberry Banana Smoothie is my ultimate favorite. It is what started it all for me. It was years ago when smoothies became very popular, and, nowadays, you can find smoothie shops almost everywhere. But let me ask you this; why go to a shop if you can easily make your very own smoothie at home? In fact, making your favorite drink at home will give you the opportunity to select the ingredients and make it even healthier.
I stopped going to smoothie shops, and you can too. As long as you have a blender and fresh fruits (and even vegetables), you can recreate your favorite blend in the comfort of your home.
Strawberries and bananas are just meant for each other. They are both sweet and delicious, making the combination even better. Simply add a handful of ice and some milk, and you are in for a real treat. You will have the creamiest, smoothest, most satisfying, and refreshing drink, especially on a hot summer day. It is very easy to whip together too so you can definitely make a glass for everyone!
