Smoothie / Smoothie Pop - Strawberry Banana

Smoothie / Smoothie Pop - Strawberry Banana

We love smoothie's around our house!  They are super easy & we love to freeze any leftovers so the kids can have "smoothie pops."

Ingredients:

2 large containers of plain yogurt*

4 bananas

1 1/2 Cups strawberries **

4 Tablespoons of Honey

1/4 Cup of milk powder

1/2 Cup of water

(optional:  fresh spinach)

Put all the ingredients in the blender and blend until smooth.  If you are using spinach, put one yogurt in the blender, then add the spinach and blend.  Add the other yogurt and blend again until smooth.  Then you can add the rest of the ingredients.

*  I buy a lot of yogurt at once and then I freeze it.  When I want a smoothie for lunch, I pull 2 yogurts out of the freezer that morning and let them defrost on the cabinet.

**  I buy 4 containers of strawberries at a time.  I wash them and have my houseworker cut them up into small pieces.  Then I lay them on a cookie sheet and put them in my freezer.  Once they are frozen, I put them in a ziplock bag and pull them out each time I need them.
