Make A Delicious Lowfat Strawberry Banana Smoothie







Make a tasty fruit smoothie at home.


You don't have to leave the house and go to a fast food restaurant to get a tasty strawberry shake. Instead, satisfy your sweet tooth with a strawberry and banana smoothie at home and cut down on the fat calories. This smoothie is also a good way to get rid of any very ripe bananas you may have in the freezer. This makes two servings.


Instructions


1. Take one large ripe frozen sliced banana and place it in a blender container.


2. Wash 1 cup of fresh strawberries and slice them. Add to the blender container.


3. Add 2/3 cup low fat or skim milk to the blender. Add 1 teaspoon honey. Allow the mixture to sit a few minutes if the frozen bananas are very hard frozen.


4. Put the cover on the blender and blend the mixture on high. If the frozen bananas stick in the bottom, stop the mixture periodically. When blender stops completely, remove the cover and stir the mixture with a rubber spatula. Be sure to replace the cover before restarting the motor.


5. Blend until completely smooth. Taste for sweetness. You may add a little more honey and blend briefly if you want a sweeter smoothie.
