SMOOTHIE (STRAWBERRY BANANA) (No Artificial Sugars Added)
A smoothie is a blended puree of ingredients usually including fruits. Today I am going to share one of the healthy smoothie recipes, Strawberry banana smoothie. This smoothie recipe is delicious, quick, easy to make and one of the best smoothie recipes for breakfast.
Healthy eating is something everyone aims at. With our fast-paced lives, only a few of us achieve that goal. One of the major lack in our diet is that of fruits and vegetables, which are a high source of vitamins, minerals, water and the much-needed fibres. One fruit smoothie every morning can help you get closer to your daily goal of needed vitamins and fibres.

Below are the ingredients I swear by while I make ANY smoothy, ok I use at least two of the below mentioned three ingredients in every smoothy I make!! Do you have any favourite ingredients for your smoothies? If you do then please let me know in the comments below, I really want to know. Actually, I want to try them out next time in my smoothy. So here are my special ingredients;
Shredded Coconut ( 1 tbsp ) - This can be added either at the end when you collect your delicious smoothie in a container or blend it with other ingredients if you don't like bits of it in your mouth while you enjoy your smoothie.
Chia Seeds (1 tsp ) - Chia seeds can be added either at the end or during blending (I prefer them at the end because it's the best way to get its health benefits)
