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!

Creamy Roasted Pumpkin Soup. It may still be 80˚F Creamy Roasted Pumpkin Soup. It may still be 80˚F (29˚C), but I’m already leaning into fall vibes. This soup starts with roasted kabocha squash & thyme, blended w/ onion, garlic, & chicken broth until silky smooth. Topped w/ crispy pancetta, a drizzle of cream, & fresh thyme. It’s layered w/ sweetness, umami, & creaminess. I’ve loved every sip, and I know I’ll be making it again (and again!) once the weather finally cools down. 🎃🍂

Next-level beef bowl!🥩🍚 Red Rock is now open Next-level beef bowl!🥩🍚 Red Rock is now opened at The Shops at Santa Anita. It’s a cozy spot w/ only about 14 bar seats, but we’re thrilled they’re now on this side of town. This Japanese restaurant first opened in Torrance in 2017, & we’ve made the trek there a few times. Now? Way more convenient! 

Their claim to fame is the sliced beef don. A rice bowl piled high with tender roasted beef, drizzled w/ sweet soy sauce & creamy yogurt sauce, then crowned with a rich raw egg yolk. In my opinion, the yolk is non-negotiable. It adds extra flavors.

While you’re there, don’t skip the croquette. Perfectly crispy on the outside, with a creamy, savory mashed potato center. Absolute comfort food.

Next time, I’m determined to try their omurice or curry… if I can resist ordering that beef bowl again.😅

If there is a salad that I can’t stop eating, it If there is a salad that I can’t stop eating, it’s this one, Burrata Salad w/ Marinated Tomato & Thai Basil. Creamy, bright flavors & no cook.

Cherry Granita w/ Mascarpone Cream. Refreshing Ita Cherry Granita w/ Mascarpone Cream. Refreshing Italian style shaved ice made w/ fresh cherries, & paired w/ a creamy mascarpone topping. It’s sweet, little tart, refreshing & creamy all at once! No shaved ice machine is needed. All you have to do is to scrape the fruit liquid with a fork every once a while. That’ll prevent the liquid turning into a giant black of ice. You’ll get these flavorful tiny ice flakes at the end. 🍒🧊🍧

It’s hearty, filling & comforting! Yes, this is no doubt our favorite burrito!
