Yesterday, I made these for my girls for an after-school snack and I scored big!! Because I don't make them often, {I don't know why, thank you for asking} they thought these were the most awesome snack and I was their favorite mom {not to mention, their ONLY mom}. These are super easy and now that I remember that, I will keep them on my list of healthy after-school snacks.
Strawberry-Banana Smoothies
Fresh strawberries, washed and sliced1 banana, peeled and sliced*
4 oz. soy yogurt, in vanilla or plain {coconut milk yogurt works, too!}
4 oz. almond milk {plain for less sugar content}
crushed ice
*you can substitute a frozen banana instead of using ice.*
Makes 2 or 3 servings - and serve it with a straw! Everything is better with a straw!
Put all ingredients in blender and pulse until you get the consistency you want. I use a Cuisinart handheld Quick Mixer and it is perfect for this job. This is a great one to let the kids help with, too. For added protein, you could add some soy protein powder, but I haven't personally tried it so I cannot vouch for the taste.
