With the warmer weather ever so slowly edging in, it’s time to break out the blender for a refreshing smoothie. I like to drink smoothies as a snack or as part of a meal but not as a replacement for a meal. I prefer my smoothies to be healthy but light in the calories department.
So I’ve revised my previous smoothie recipe. Let’s look at the nutritional information (I used calorie count for the recipe analysis):
New Recipe
Old Recipe
All of the refreshing taste and flavor for half of the calories, not that the old recipe was bad, but it totally did not need the yogurt. The serving size is also smaller without the yogurt but I don’t miss the larger size. It’s still enough for a nice cool down.
Strawberry Banana Smoothie
Makes about 11 ounces
1 ripe banana, peeled, sliced and frozen
1/2 cup fresh or frozen strawberries
1/2 cup unsweetened, low-fat vanilla almond milk
Combine all of the ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth and creamy. Serve immediately.

They both sound great! The boys and I have been having almond milk frozen berries a dollop of almond butter as a hearty part of breakfast. And now I’m off to check out the nutritional analysis. Thanks for sharing!
