I have been hooked on making smoothies now. I'm really wanting to eat more healthy (and as I am saying this, I'm eating some Easter candy I got on sale. haha). So I've been making smoothies. You may think that that's not really healthy... but the smoothies I've been making pretty much just fruit, yogert, and most of the time sweetened with honey.
Last Monday, I made Strawberry Banana Coconute Smoothie from my smoothie book. It's not a sweet smoothie. So if you like yours to be sweet, I'd say you might want to skip this one. But it's one of my favorites I've made so far.
It has:
- 2 cups of fresh or frozen strawberries
- 1 1/4 cups unsweetened canned coconut milk
- 1 tsp rum extract (optional)
- 1 banana, peeled and sliced
- 1 to 3 ice cubes
*I did use the extract, and it gave it a little bit of a kick
Combine strawberries, coconut milk, and rum extract in blender. Process until smooth.
Add banana; process until smooth. Add 3 ice cubes if using fresh fruit and 1 to 2 cubes if using frozen fruit. Process until smooth. Serve immediately.
Since this one is not sweet, I think it would be really good for breakfast. Give it a try, and let me know what ya think!
