Servings: 2
Serving Size: 1 cup
Sip this carb-heavy smoothie along with a carb-light meal, such as a salad topped with grilled chicken. You can enjoy this delicious, refreshing, 100% fruit recipe in any season.
- 1 cup whole fresh strawberries, frozen (or use store-bought whole frozen strawberries)
- 1 medium banana, peeled, frozen, and cut into chunks
- 1 cup organic unsweetened apple juice, chilled
Directions
1. Puree the strawberries, banana, and juice in a blender on low speed for 30 seconds, then high speed for 30 seconds or until smooth.
2. Serve in chilled glasses. Garnish with fresh strawberries wedged on glass rims, if desired.
Fast Fix
Peel, cut, and freeze banana slices in small, sealable freezer bags-1 banana per bag. You can freeze them up to several weeks. And you can freeze your own strawberries -1 cup fresh strawberries per freezer bag.
