Strawberry Banana Smoothie

September 4, 2014 By Lokness 18 Comments

Strawberry Banana Smoothie 1 | The Missing Lokness

In recent year, Bryan and I have been trying to live a bit healthier. At least, we are changing little by little. As we are growing older, we realize our bodies weren’t like before any more. It is time to focus on our health. Going to the gym, eating more greens and eating less.

Breakfast is said to be the most important meal of the day. But with our busy lives, it is hard to pull out a full breakfast every day. Greek yogurt is a great fast option. We also find smoothie can be very filling, take no-time to toss together, and easy to eat on-the-go. We have found a few recipes we like, and we just rotate them every day.

One of my favorites is this strawberry banana one. We use unsweetened soy milk. Our stomach can’t really take milk in the morning. We are not fan of almond flavor. Soy milk sounds like the next logical choice, especially I drank it growing up. Banana is smoothie’s best friend. It brings creaminess and natural sweetness, but always use ripe banana. A few frozen strawberries is more than enough. They can be tasted but not overwhelming other flavors. With a little bit of sweet honey, the smoothie is ready! Love it!

Now, I am just missing a nice blender. Hmm… How about a Vitamix for Christmas? 😀

Strawberry Banana Smoothie 2 | The Missing Lokness

 

Strawberry Banana Smoothie

2 servings

Ingredients:

–   3 large frozen unsweetened strawberries

–   3 ice cubes

–   1 large ripe banana

–   1 – 2 tablespoon honey

–   1¼ cup unsweetened soy milk

Directions:

  1. In a blender, add frozen strawberries, ice cubes, banana, 1 tablespoon honey and soy milk. Blend until smooth. Taste and add more honey if needed. Transfer to cups and serve immediately.

Tips:

  1. Frozen strawberries help to thicken up the smoothie. But if you prefer fresh ones, you can use them too.
  2. When buying frozen strawberries, check the ingredient list and make sure no extra sweetener was added.
  3. Other than strawberries, you can switch it up with other frozen berries.
  4. This portion will keep you full for 3 hours. Double the recipe if needed.

    Looks great! I haven’t gotten on the smoothie routine yet (I’m still hooked on my mock mocha fraps) but this is tempting me. I have a very basic blender and only had it less than 2 years. A Vitamix sounds awesome, if only it wasn’t so crazy expensive! : )

      OOO, mocha fraps sounds GOOD! I found your recipe and I am going to make it next week! Love trying something new! Yea…. Vitamix is so pricey! It is hard to understand, but I want one…. 🙁

    I totally agree with you about healthy eating, which is the thing I’m trying to do now. Smoothie is a great idea for breakfast and after a work out for me. Love the idea to use soy milk in this recipe, sounds very delicious 🙂

    Yerm! I’m also a fan of morning smoothies but haven’t done the strawberry banana classic in a while. Also, I recently invested in a Ninja blender for $100 and it makes my frozen fruit silky-smooth! Don’t feel pressured to go all-out on the vitamix!

    Yum, I love a good smoothie! Strawberry and banana is my go-to flavor. I’ve been trying to eat healthier too, it’s hard! I bet it would be easier with a fancy new blender though! 😉

Growing up, I looked forward to my mom’s mango p Growing up, I looked forward to my mom’s mango pudding every summer. That creamy & soft pudding is loaded w/ tons of fresh mangoes. My version is pretty much the same, but I switch out the mango-flavored gelatin mix for fresh mangoes. It tastes incredible & brings me back to my childhood right away! It was the perfect dessert when I was a kid, and it’s still the most satisfying dessert today! 🥭

Sometimes, something simple is the best. My go-to Sometimes, something simple is the best. My go-to is a cheeseburger w/ extra toasted bun & onion. Bryan likes his double-double w/ onion. The fries were perfectly crispy, and I like to dip them in the spread sauce. Please order me 2 fries next time!😂 How do you like your In-N-Out?
Ice cream time! This Vanilla Blueberry Thyme Swirl Ice cream time! This Vanilla Blueberry Thyme Swirl Ice Cream is creamy, little vanilla-y w/ bits of blueberries & a hint of thyme. That vibrant blueberry swirls also makes the prettiest purple color too! I made this ice cream using my blueberry thyme jam, so it’s very easy.🫐🍨

Spring time means berries. Let starts w/ Blueberry Spring time means berries. Let starts w/ Blueberry Thyme Jam! Sweet, lemony & earthy. A nice surprising combo, but both blueberry & thyme compliment each other really well. I once served this once w/ a slice of Basque cheesecake, & it was fantastic! The jam is good on all sort of things, like yogurt and charcuterie board. 🫐

When I think of comfort food, this Satay Beef Cell When I think of comfort food, this Satay Beef Cellophane Noodles in Clay Pot (沙嗲牛肉粉絲煲) definitely is up there on the top. One of my favorites to order in Hong Kong! It’s hearty & rich. That tender beef & noodles are coated w/ a savory & slightly sweet satay sauce. Little kick from the chili & the earthiness from the mushroom. Bold flavors! Please just give me a bowl of rice already! Btw, this takes only 30 mins to put together, which makes a great weeknight dish.

Maude (@mauderestaurant) has reopened & we’re ba Maude (@mauderestaurant) has reopened & we’re back! It closed down during the pandemic & eventually was selling sweet & savory pies for a while. Once we heard Maude was about to reopen, we made reservation. It’s a 9-course tasting menu w/ the focus on California cuisine this time. Everything was incredible. We chose to sit on the chef’s table & watched them plating & cooking. Precision & speed w/ lots of components. We had our many firsts, like cactus, caviar, & black truffle. Our favorites of the night were caviar w/ peas, abalone & bread w/ aged butter. We really love this place & look forward to going back soon!

Am I dreaming? Hailing in Pasadena? The mix of hai Am I dreaming? Hailing in Pasadena? The mix of hail & rain probably lasted for a good 30-minute. I was very excited at first, then it got crazy. Hail was collecting everything & my patio started to flood. I took out a broom & removed some of the hail. That worked, the water started to move & subside eventually. So glad my apartment wasn’t flooded. Whew! I have seen hailing, but this is another level. The ground was covered in hail. Really incredible!
