Strawberry Banana Smoothie

My sugar-free exsistence, which you can read about here and here, lasted exactly two weeks. I fell off the wagon on Memorial Day, when I just couldn't resist strawberry pretzel salad and Gramma's carrot cake.

I'm still participating in the body after baby challenge and I'm happy to report that I'm down 8 lbs. total - just 7 lbs away from my pre-pregnancy weight. Very exciting. This week I'm just controlling my portion sizes and limiting my sugar.

One of the yummiest treats that I had while on my sugar fast was a homemade strawberry-banana smoothie. I like to freeze my over-ripe bananas, so it's super sweet and totally (refined) sugar free!

Strawberry-Banana Smoothie

3 medium bananas - cut and frozen

1/3 cup frozen strawberries

1/2 to 1 cup milk

1 cup - ice cubes



Blend everything together in your blender. This makes a super thick shake, so you may need to add more milk (or yogurt, if you want a more breakfasty smoothie) to help the blender with all the frozen ingredients.


So yummy!

A couple reminders: You still have time to enter my Jack and Lily shoe giveaway! Don't miss out!

Make sure you check back tomorrow for an awesome home birth story! It's a gem.
