What's the secret ingredient in this banana smoothie recipe?

You've probably already read the ingredients, if that's the case its no surprise to you...the strawberries.  The strawberries taste sweet and also give the smoothie a nice reddish tint of color.

Like most commercially made smoothies, this banana fruit smoothie recipe contains a perfect blend of fruits.  The sweet strawberries truly complement the taste of the bananas making this smoothie recipe a big hit.

The bananas and skim milk combine to make this smoothie rich and creamy and apple juice is added to make this a sweet drink.

This is a smoothie that I will prepare for breakfast whenever I have bananas on hand.  That way the bananas do not go to waste.  In the past I would throw out the bananas when they got to ripe, but not anymore, I just add them to my smoothie drink.

I love adding bananas to my smoothies because they are an incredibly healthy and versatile fruit. Bananas are a great source of vitamins, minerals and fiber, making them a nutritious addition to any smoothie. They also provide valuable antioxidants that can help reduce inflammation and promote overall health. On top of that, the sweetness from bananas helps to naturally sweeten the smoothie without having to add any sugary syrups or artificial sweeteners.

Bananas also have a creamy texture which adds body and thickness to the smoothie. This silky smooth texture can make for a deliciously satisfying drink that’s great for breakfast, lunch or an afternoon snack! Plus, you can combine bananas with other fruits and veggies like spinach, kale or apples for added nutrition and flavor.

Last but not least, adding bananas to your smoothie is just plain fun! With their bright yellow color and distinct taste, they make your smoothies look as good as they taste. And with all the creative combinations you can make with different fruits and veggies, you’ll never get bored of your banana smoothie recipes. So go ahead - grab some fresh bananas and start experimenting today!
