This Banana Strawberry Blueberry Smoothie is a real treat and if you have this and my eggs in the morning, they taste good with a little pickup, in the middle of the afternoon. It helps avoid the dreary afternoon slump and provides an invigorating jolt of energy.
Key Ingredients:
Banana – Bananas are a natural sweet, and creamy delight in many smoothies. Pick yellow, ripe bananas for the best taste Green bananas are not so sweet and can make your mouth somewhat chalky. I always have a couple of bunches of bananas ripening on the counter for smoothies. And if they get overripe before I can use them I peel and freeze them in slices.
Frozen Strawberries – I like buying a big bag of frozen strawberries at Costco. They make the perfect additive for any smoothie, Frozen strawberries taste great and they make smoothies thick! Frozen strawberries are good for their thickening qualities.
Frozen Blueberries – They can give a burst of blueberry flavor. Once again, when using frozen blueberries they bring out this refreshing and icy sweet smoothie quality. But if you only have fresh blueberries you can freeze them yourself.
Greek Yogurt – My refrigerator always has some unsweetened Greek yogurt in it. Also added to any juicer fruit smoothie for that velvety texture and some protein. Please experiment with your own personal choice of yogurt. For vegans, work with the coconut yogurt.
Milk – Any kind of milk, be it plant or animal-derived, is good for this recipe. My top choices are whole milk and unsweetened almond milk. Use whatever is available in the fridge. It sounds interesting of course to try coconut milk, which is closer thematically.
