This week I am participating in a great event celebrating Back to School with some of my favorite food bloggers. To celebrate and help get you ready for this busy time, we’ve got loads of great back to school recipe ideas for you, along with an awesome giveaway.
Back to school routines are not easy for most of us. In New York, school starts in just a few weeks! It’s time to organize easy back to school recipes!
Strawberry Banana Smoothie without Yogurt
I am sharing one of my easiest recipes with you today. Enjoy a Strawberry Banana Smoothie without yogurt.
The smoothie is made with strawberries, bananas, milk, and for the kids, Barlean’s Omega Pals Straw-nana flavored fish oil. This is great way to get Omega-3’s into your kids.
No need to add yogurt to the smoothie. The flavors and the thickness of the fruit smoothie is perfect
To make our mornings easy, we use our Hamilton Beach, Proctor Silex Mini Blender. Easy to use. A quick clean up on busy mornings too!
Can I make this smoothie ahead of time?
Make the smoothie in the morning. Keep it in a cold thermos for a few up to 3-4 hours.
What type of milk is best to make this smoothie?
We use 2% milk to make this smoothie. Use your favorite milk, soy, or nut milk.
