Vegan Strawberry and Banana Smoothie

Vegan Strawberry and Banana SmoothieWe have been on a bit of smoothie kick lately and have discovered they’re not just for breakfast anymore!In addition to enjoying smoothies as a morning treat, I have actually started whipping them up after dinner and serving them to the family as a quick and healthy dessert!And this vegan version of the classic strawberry and banana smoothie is definitely one of our many new favorites!Ingredients for Vegan Strawberry and Banana Smoothie:

• strawberries
• bananas
• orange juice

 Pro tip: For best results, use frozen fruit.For strawberries, I like to keep the pre-frozen bags on hand.For bananas though, I freeze them myself. I seem to always purchase more than we can eat so, when we’ve got bananas I need to use or lose, in the freezer they go. How to freeze fresh bananas: Cut bananas into 1″ slices.Arrange slices in an even layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet.Place the baking sheet in the freezer.Once the banana slices are frozen, place them in a freezer safe plastic bag.When it’s time to make a smoothie, just pull out just what you need and store the rest for another time. How to make Vegan Strawberry and Banana Smoothie:Place strawberries, banana, and orange juice in a blender.Blend until the consistency is smooth.That’s it! Cheers!More tasty breakfast recipes:Vegan Blueberry Muffins – This recipe yields 12 full-size muffins and they’re ready to serve in just under 30 minutes!Blueberry Zucchini Muffins with Streusel Topping – Make these muffins with or without the streusel topping.
