Strawberry Banana Smoothie


I go way back with smoothies. I remember going to the mall with my friends back in high school, and we would always grab a smoothie at the local smoothie store. Strawberry Banana has always been my favorite, and it's not often that I step away from that combination of flavors.

Smoothies are a great way to get fruits into your diet, and they are perfect for a pool-side snack on a hot summer day. I like to put almonds and Greek yogurt in my smoothies to bump up the protein.

This looks pretty and I know it's nutricious. I wish I like bananas in things, but I'd like it better with just strawberries or add some blueberries or raspberries. Yum!
Illu!
