Healthy Strawberry Banana "Milkshakes"

This was so yummy and refreshing. You would never know that it's healthy. And the best part- our toddler LOVES it!! You really can't beat a 3 ingredient healthy milkshake. Especially on a hot day when you need a snack but don't want to heat up the kitchen. This is something cool and refreshing you are sure to love if you like bananas and strawberries. 
 I found the recipe on one of my favorite food blogs, Sally's Baking Addiction, and only slightly adapted it. I needed a little more milk than she used and I added a few more strawberries. 
(Click here for her original recipe)

The amounts I used were enough for 2 shakes. 
I am definitely going to try this with blueberries. And maybe pineapple and peaches. 


This one is for my toddler. It's a plastic cup....

It's a pretty big cup and he actually drank most of it too.

Puree the frozen banana chunks and milk in your blender until it's a smooth, soft-serve like consistency

 Add the strawberries

 puree again until all the strawberries are blended into the banana nicely

 And pour into glasses and enjoy the nice cool refreshing strawberry banana goodness


Healthy Strawberry Banana “Milkshake”
3 ripe bananas, peel removed, cut into chunks and frozen
10 strawberries, halved
1/2-3/4 C milk (any kind-regular milk, soy milk, almond milk, rice milk, etc)
In a blender puree frozen banana chunks and milk until smooth and soft-serve like consistency. Add strawberry halves and puree again until strawberries are blended into banana nicely. Pour into glasses and serve. Makes enough for 2 shakes.


Enjoy!
