Strawberry Smoothie Ingredients

(This will make a full blender, family-sized smoothie).

1. 1/2 cup of activated Blend11 2 cups (or more) of frozen strawberries (buy heaps - just chop them up before freezing) always get organic if the budget can stretch (seconds or pre-frozen berries are often bargains & super tasty - perfect for smoothies)
2. 2 or 3 frozen bananas, chopped
3. 1/2 cup of water (more if you like a runnier smoothie)
4. 2 scoops of plain protein powder of choice (plain, choc, coconut & vanilla will all work well)
5. 1/2 cup (or more) of coconut yoghurt. Choc, vanilla or unsweetened are amazing in this, or use greek yoghurt if ok with dairy. Add extra yoghurt if you like a really creamy smoothie.
6. Vanilla essence to taste - a good splash
7. Optional extra - add some fresh beetroot for extra pinkness & a bonus hidden vegetable!)

2) Blend until well combined, pink & smooth

3) You can serve in a glass, a shaker bottle on the go, use as the base for a smoothie bowl, & pour any leftovers into ice-block moulds to freeze.
