Strawberry Banana Smoothie questions
Can I make a strawberry banana smoothie without yogurt?+
Yes. Replace the yogurt with an extra half banana for thickness, or use silken tofu, cottage cheese, or a quarter cup of oats.
Should I use fresh or frozen strawberries?+
Frozen strawberries create the thickest, coldest smoothie. Fresh berries work well when blended with about one cup of ice.
