Recipe: Banana-Strawberry Smoothie

Next time you buy bananas on sale, or you get a great deal on them because they're a little "too ripe", get a bunch! (Get it? Er, sorry). When bananas are ripe, peel them, break into 1-2 inch pieces, wrap tightly in plastic wrap, label, and freeze. This will help you make sure you have bananas the next time you want a smoothie!

Ingredients:
1-2 frozen bananas
1 cup frozen strawberries
8 ounces milk (we use soy milk)

Directions:
Add milk to blender first, then add frozen fruit. If desired, add a scoop of protein powder. Blend until smooth.

Add other fruit as desired. Sometimes we take whatever harvests that day: raspberries, blackberries, blueberries, etc. If you need a little more liquid, you could use apple juice too.
