Strawberry-Banana Smoothie

I have been continuing to clean out my freezer. One thing that I love to freeze is fresh fruit. It is a way to prolong the summer harvest, as well as salvage overripe bananas. You could just as easily use fresh fruit in this recipe though. 

I also just used up the last of the local honey I had on hand from the end of farmer's market season. Luckily, I discovered my favorite Virginia apiary, Bees n Blossoms, sells their honey online!


Ingredients:
  • 1 banana
  • 1 C. strawberries
  • 1 C. plain yogurt (I use nonfat Greek yogurt)
  • 1 Tbsp. honey, or to taste
  • 1/4 C. ground flax seed or wheat germ (optional)
  • 1 handful of ice
Put all ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth. Makes 1 large smoothie.
