Strawberry Banana Smoothie
This strawberry banana smoothie is the perfect start to your day. It’s loaded with fresh bananas and strawberries and sweetened with a touch of honey!
Weekday breakfasts are always the worst. If you’re anything like us, then you try to hit the ground running every morning.
However, trying to fit in a decent breakfast can be quite the challenge. Enter our strawberry banana smoothie.
It takes everything you love about a fresh breakfast and puts it all into one glass.
We start with bananas and strawberries, then we add a little old fashioned oats, milk, and top everything off with a touch of raw honey. It really is a wonderfully sweet drink that feels like a dessert.
How to make a strawberry banana smoothie:
First, slice up enough bananas to fill a dry measuring cup. Usually, that means about two average-sized bananas.
Next, measure out the strawberries, oats, milk, and honey.
Then, in a large blender, combine all the ingredients. Use the liquefy setting on your blender to create a smooth drink.
Last, split the smoothie up between two 12-ounce glasses and garish with fresh strawberries or mint.

Smoothie Tips:
If you’re lactose intolerant, fell free to almond milk or coconut milk as a substitute for the dairy variety.
To reduce the calories or carbs in this drink, try using a sugar substitute. However, since I have not tried this myself I cannot confirm how much you should substitute.
All out of old fashioned oats, let use quick oats instead.

Love smoothies for breakfast! and adding oats and honey makes it even better! Thanks for the delicious idea!)
Thank you, Veronika! We love smoothies too and used to get them a specialty smoothie shops, but after years of watching them use things like ice cream we wanted something a bit more natural. So, we started using things frozen fruit and honey as sweeteners and freezing agents. All in all, I like these better than their commercial cousins. Have a great day Veronkia!
