MY STRAWBERRY BANANA SMOOTHIE TIPS
- Don't use all of the frozen fruit. If you use both frozen strawberries and a frozen banana, the texture will be incredibly thick, comparable to my Strawberry Frozen Yogurt recipe. Use fresh strawberries and a frozen banana instead. If you only have frozen strawberries, defrost them first.
- No sugar should be added. It's bizarre that some recipes ask for a sweetener in a fruit smoothie. Mother Nature has provided us with plenty of sweetness in strawberries and bananas, so no additional sugar is required.
