I was recently asked if I would be willing to try out a new recipe and review how it tasted. As someone who doesn’t love to cook, I had to think twice before agreeing. Thankfully, one of the choices I had was a smoothie. My daughter is all about the smoothie lately – so we decided to take a risk and “whip” up something in the kitchen.
The smoothie came out fantastic. Here is the recipe below:
Makes 2 smoothies
Half a Banana
4 -6 frozen strawberries
½ c plain yogurt
½ – 1 c orange juice
1 Tbsp Flax seeds
1 Tbsp whey protein powder
In a blender add the banana, strawberries, yogurt, and orange juice. Blend until smooth. Add the flax seeds and whey, blend until evenly distributed and enjoy!
Try to mix it up a bit using other fruits — whatever you have will work but here are some options:
Fresh blueberries, frozen raspberries & pomegranate juice
Fresh strawberries, frozen peaches & orange juice
Fresh bananas, frozen mango, & pineapple juice
We used the fresh blueberries and fresh bananas and it came out delicious.
Give it a try and let us know what you think??

Hi,
Thank you SO much for recommending our drink for your delicious tasting smoothie!
We’d love to add the recipe to our website, with your permission?
Try also: soy protein powder. Whey protein is great for muscles, but there are other great benefits from soy protein. As a vegeterian, getting in some soy protein is always necessary! (Women in “the change” beware excess soy raises estogen levels, but in moderation is healthy!)
Sound yummy… I’ve been making home-made smoothies for past few years and our kids love it. Strawberry-Banana Smoothie is one of their favourite one. I have never added an orange juice, but it sounds delicious. Thank you for this tip.
I make something pretty similar to this on a regular basis. One thing I like to do is keep some cut up, over-ripe banana pieces in the freezer for smoothies.
It adds natural sweetness, plus makes it colder, almost like a milkshake
