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!

Yesterday was a good day, and I’m still feeling Yesterday was a good day, and I’m still feeling the hangover from it. To continue w/ the happy mood, I’m sharing a sunshine kind of recipe, Blood Orange Sorbet.🍊 Tart, little sweet & a hint of floral. This pink sorbet is crazy easy to make that you just whisk everything together & pour into the machine. Easy breezy!

Bryan & I have been dreaming about these chicken t Bryan & I have been dreaming about these chicken tenders from Sesame Grill @sesamegrill_626 for a few days. These tenders are unlike any we had before. Crunchy crust, yet delicate & not too heavy. The meat is super juicy & soft. Very simple food, but really well executed! Sesame Grill was original a fine dining restaurant, they redid their menu because of the pandemic & started to sell tenders only. And that got really popular! Incredible story & hope they’ll continue do well. If you’re ever in the area, definitely check them out.

Char Siu with Rice (叉燒飯) is a dish that I ca Char Siu with Rice (叉燒飯) is a dish that I can never get enough. Since I didn’t live close to a Chinese restaurant for a long time, I have been making my own for years. This week, I finally reshot the photos & gave a quick update for the recipe. Juicy & tender pork coated in a slightly sweet BBQ sauce, then top them over some hot steamed rice with a sweet soy sauce. Every bite is so satisfying!

Almost every year, I make holiday treats for famil Almost every year, I make holiday treats for families, friends & Bryan’s coworkers. (Except last year, because we just moved to Northern California.)🎁 Year after year, I was told that their favorites are the marshmallows! 
.
Homemade marshmallows are really something special. Soft & pillowy, and they’re usually less sweet & flavored. I have 3 flavored marshmallow recipes on the blog, chocolate, raspberry & orange. Chocolate is no doubt the most popular. If you prefer something fruity, raspberry is the one to go. If you’re looking for something unique, definitely try the orange. 
.
Don’t ask me to pick a favorite, because I do love them all. Another plus about marshmallows is that they last for at least 2 weeks (likely longer), so you have plenty of time to give them out to friends or finish them yourself!
