Classic Strawberry-Banana Smoothie
by Maryellen Driscoll
An easy, healthy eye-opener to start the day on the right track.
Yields about 3-1/2 cups.
2/3 cup orange juice
1/3 cup low-fat vanilla yogurt
1 banana, peeled
2 heaping cups (12 oz.) individually quick-frozen strawberries
Put the orange juice, yogurt, banana, and 1 cup of the berries in a blender. Blend using the pulse option (or start at a low speed and gradually increase to high). Once blended, add the remaining berries one at a time through the jar cap’s fill hole while the machine is running. Blend until smooth.
