Strawberry Banana Smoothie

Strawberries and bananas are a classic combination that provides gentle sweetness and plenty of energy. The high carbohydrate content of the banana provides extra calories to help you keep going through the day, making this the perfect breakfast beverage or mid-afternoon juice snack. Look for fully-ripe yellow bananas to provide plenty of flavor. In fact, it's okay to use bananas with some spotting or browning in this recipe. Avoid green bananas, which can make the smoothie seem bitter or astringent.

Ingredients

1 ½ cups strawberries

1 large or 2 medium bananas

1 vanilla bean

Rinse and hull the strawberries, discarding the tops. Peel the banana and add both fruits to your blender or juicer, along with the vanilla bean. Process until the juice develops a thick, rich texture. The vanilla bean adds a sweet scent along with attractive tiny black flecks.
