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! 😉

When planning the trip to Denver, I realized Safta When planning the trip to Denver, I realized Safta @eatwithsafta is opened by the same chef who started Shaya in New Orleans. We went to Shaya back in 2019. Fantastic food & very memorable! So we knew we had to go to Safta. 

Menu is very similar to Shaya. We ordered a bunch of stuffs & we enjoyed every single thing. That really doesn’t happen often. The food was perfectly balanced. Nothing felt heavy or overwhelming. That braised lamb shank fell off the bone w/ that creamy labneh & sweet pomegranate sauce. The charred cabbage was also phenomenal. Sweet & charred. Semifreddo was just the ending we hope for. Iced cold w/ strong coffee granita & rich chocolate. 

We came w/ really high expectations, & we were very happy at the end of the meal. If you’re visiting Denver, do not think twice, you need to eat at Safta!

Being close to nature is the main goal of this Den Being close to nature is the main goal of this Denver trip. We hiked, saw a couple lakes & mountains, & got attacked by tons of mosquitoes. We were exhausted from the high altitude, heat & hiking, but felt amazing!

1) Hallet Peak & Dream Lake at the Rocky Mountain
2) Selfie
3) We got attacked by mosquitoes. Whenever we posed for pictures, the mosquitoes immediately attacked. If you look closely, you can see a mosquito near Bryan’s face. 🦟

It’s Friyay! All I can think about is this bagel It’s Friyay! All I can think about is this bagel from @bagelandslice. Tried this a couple weeks ago. Bagels are not overly chewy, just perfect. Lox was good w/ the scallion cream cheese. We got there early enough that the line was not long. Going back soon! Btw, they also do pizzas too!
