Strawberry and Banana Smoothie

If you’re looking for a quick breakfast that’s also delicious, you have to try this Strawberry and Banana Smoothie. Packed with simple ingredients such as Greek yogurt and frozen fruit, and naturally sweetened with dates and bananas, this is the best, most refreshing start to your day!

I like to serve th sismoothie on its own, or alongside my Brioche French Toast or Overnight Chia Pudding. It also makes an easy snack any time of the day since it only takes five minutes to whip together.

The best part is you can customize it in a variety of ways. Use fresh fruits when they’re in season (and at their tastiest), or try pouring the smoothie into a bowl and topping with crunchy granola, shredded coconut, and your favorite berries.
