Sometimes all you want is something quick, easy and pleasing for breakfast. I’ve got the perfect idea. Strawberry-Banana Smoothies!! You may be thinking, can’t I just pick that up at Jamba Juice? Yeah, you can, IF you live near one and have $5+ to spend every morning. But the easier, faster, simpler, and cheaper way is to make your own. I started making various fruit smoothies for breakfast or a snack when I began weight watchers a few years ago, and it is one of the most satisfying ways to start your morning. So here it is, the simple Strawberry-Banana smoothie!
What you’ll need: 
3/4 c. frozen strawberries
1 banana (this is a great recipe to use those turning-brown bananas!)
1/2 c. organic 0% Greek yogurt (any flavor you please, I like vanilla)*
1/3 c. Organic 1% or fat-free milk*
I try to let the frozen strawberries thaw out for a few minutes so I usually take them out when I first wake up.
Add all ingredients together and blend! It’s that simple! I use an immersion blender that cost me $60 at target and is a great alternative if you don’t have the space for a regular blender. This is a great recipe to make the night before and throw in the freezer or fridge, depending on how you want the texture in the morning. To get even more nutrients, try adding frozen blueberries, mango, raspberries and blackberries.
For those of you on Weight Watchers, you can make this for as little as 2 Points Plus if you use plain non-fat greek yogurt!
*I use organic milk and yogurt not only for the health benefits because I truly think that dairy tastes so much better than non-organic. It’s worth the money! Think of it as investing in your health AND your senses! *
