Super nice and classic
We didn’t care for this.
It was really good. But to make it better, we added cinniamon and fresh strawberries.
I didn’t use banana extract. It tasted more like a banana smoothie than a strawberry banana smoothie. It was still VERY good!!
Instead of using sugar try using some honey because it is naturally sweet and if there is any sugar in it I won’t be much so the honey will be better for you
This was so good. I left out the banana extract and the sugar. I added ice to make it colder and thicker. It was such a great recipe.
I love this recipe! My kids do not like eating fruit, so I have to find creative ways to get them in. This was simple and easy to make. I substituted vanilla extract for the banana one. I added cinnamon, too. I used vanilla yogurt. The consistency was excellent, and it was super quick! Thanks for sharing this!–Charla
Very tasty. I added 5 fresh strawberries and 2 cups of ice to stretch it and make it a bit colder.
very good, but this was for like 4 people!! Exellent flavor, though. I didnt have bannanna extract, but I think it would taste the same. Nice and quick, perfect for a lazy morning.
I didn’t quite get this smoothie. It was more like strawberry milk and I even used a frozen banana. The flavor had a vitamin after taste too, for some reason. The only change, was I did not have banana extract so I subbed a little vanilla. Not sure that would affect the flavor that strongly. I was able to save it by adding some more frozen fruit, but the title is really misleading as it is not thick at all.
I liked it a lot but if you don’t like a lot of banana I would either put more strawberries in or you less banana!
so easy to make, and delicious
I just used what I had on hand: Hand full of frozen sliced strawberry’s, one banana, a couple scoops of French Vinilla ice cream, and milk. Cold and tasty! Just about any variation of ice cream, vogurt, fruit and milk works great. Thanks for posting!
yum
Loved this recipe!!! Like some others I did make a few adjustments to lower to calories. I used 2 bananas (no extract on hand), 1/2 skim milk, 7 fresh strawberries, 8 oz of non fat vanilla yogurt, and 2 t of raw honey. Plus I added fresh spinach & 1T of wheatgerm & 10 cubes of ice. If you have kids, this is a GREAT way to “hide” vegetables. You can not taste them at all. You can easily omit the wheatgerm and spinach. Hope this helps!
Great smoothie! I froze my bananna first and left out the banana extract – I don’t have any. I used skim milk and also added in some strawberries along with the strawberry yogurt to heighten the strawberry flavor. To make this a little extra frosty I threw in a little ice. Definitely a nice creamy treat!
Very good. I had to make some changes because I didn’t have exactly everything in the recipe. Instead of 8 oz. of strawberry yogurt I used 6 oz. of vanilla yogurt. I put in a cup of fresh strawberries to make up for not having the strawberry yogurt. Being the yogurt was only 6 oz. instead of 8 oz. I put in 1 cup of milk rather then 3/4 cup. I also put in only 1 teaspoon of sugar instead of 2. All in all, it came out good. I’d definitely make it again.
First things first… When I want a smootie, I expect one thing…. For it to be cold. Not room temperature. Second of all, there isn’t enough strawberry flavor. I found the banana extract was highly unecessary and drowned out what little strawberry taste there actually was. To fix this, I sliced up about a half of cup of strawberries, a cup of crushed ice, 1 tsp Vanilla extract, and about 1/2 cup of plain non-fat yogurt. Once I was through with it, it was edible.
AWESOME!!!! I drink one at least 2 a week. And now I got my neighbor hooked. Thank you.
kids loved this and gobbled it right up! I think we’ll also be experimenting with other yogurts (mixed berry ones especially). This recipe is pretty easy to switch up. We froze the banana first, worked well. Didnt add the extra sugar, you don’t need it with the flavored yogurt and banana.
I didn’t have any banana extract so I used another banana, and I also used strawberry and banana yogurt. I didn’t add sugar, but added a little honey. It’s a good smoothie, thanks for the recipie!
