Strawberry Banana Smoothie Recipe

Why This Recipe Works

  • Frozen strawberries are virtually at all times packaged on the peak of seasonal ripeness, guaranteeing a extra developed strawberry taste regardless of the time of yr. Plus, they’re frozen, serving to to relax the smoothie with out the necessity for ice.
  • Incorporating strawberry jam gives a lift of berry taste.

I keep in mind the day my mother got here house with our household’s first blender. My sisters and I gathered round her as she unboxed the machine on our kitchen counter, curious to see what the fuss was about. The blender, a white, plastic Philips mannequin, was probably the most superior piece of kit in our kitchen on the time—it was Hong Kong within the Nineteen Nineties and we didn’t even have an oven. We watched her assemble the blender and proceed to whizz collectively the one smoothie she knew learn how to make: a creamy strawberry-banana one which tasted extra like a milkshake than a breakfast drink. Regardless of now proudly owning a blender, my mother by no means modified it up. The one two issues she used the blender for? Milkshakes—and smoothies that tasted like milkshakes.

Although I’ve since expanded my smoothie repertoire, my mother’s strawberry-banana smoothie stays a nostalgic and comforting favourite of mine. It’s not arduous to see why she liked it a lot: her model had simply three elements and was a simple snack to whizz up for her three annoyingly loud and needy daughters.

Over time, I’ve tweaked it ever so barely by swapping recent berries for frozen and including a tablespoon of strawberry jam. Frozen berries are picked and preserved at their peak after they’re ripest, and supply a burst of concentrated strawberry taste higher than most recent fruit can all year long. The jam provides to that strawberry depth much more. The banana, in the meantime, helps to thicken the smoothie, whereas entire milk lends richness. Paired with the frozen strawberries and jam, the ensuing beverage tastes like a sippable model of strawberries and cream. Is it dessert or breakfast? You determine.
