Strawberry season is on! I love them, it's one of my favorite fruits. The pity is that the season lasts so little. Many times I buy 1 or 2 kilos and so I can prepare them in many ways, from plain with sugar to the richest shakes and ice creams.
Today I wanted to show you one of my favorite shakes I usually get ready on the weekends, mid-morning, when I get home from the gym to play sports. It is a unique supply of vitamins. Of course, I recommend you take it as you prepare it because if time passes it begins to oxidize and thicken excessively.
This recipe is perfect for those of you who are starting with Thermomix, for those of you who are dietFor those of you who do not like fruit too much (and thus you will have a good portion), for children and for those who are lactose intolerant, I know that it is perfect with Kaiku brand products.
Strawberry Banana Smoothie
A delicious smoothie that provides you with all the good things about fruit.
Equivalences with TM21
If you want something cooler, I also recommend this strawberry ice cream with Thermomix that you can prepare in 5 minutes and in a very simple way. Which one do you prefer?
Properties of the strawberry and banana smoothie
The fruit always has to be inside a balanced and healthy diet. So, in this case we are left with two of the main ones. On the one hand we have the strawberries that are the great protagonists. In addition to having folic acid, they also have numerous vitamins such as B9 and B11. They are rich in calcium and also in antioxidants. In addition, they are perfect for the eyes and for our bone health. Without forgetting that they are anti-inflammatory and will fight bad cholesterol.
On the other hand, bananas are also not far behind in vitamins. They have A, C, B1, B2 and B6. Have also minerals like potassium, iron, or zinc, among others. It should be noted that it also has carbohydrates. So we are combining two perfect fruits to take care of our body and with low caloric intake. The strawberry and banana smoothie will be perfect to take as a snack or snack and without having any regrets about it. It is a satiating drink and at the same time it will eliminate toxins from your body. What more can we ask for?
Is it useful to lose weight?
After knowing that we are facing one of the most natural drinks and with great contribution, we have another question to solve. If you are wondering if it helps you lose weight, we answer yes. That is, it will not provide you with more calories, always within a healthy diet. We can say that 100 grams of banana will provide about 89 calories. While strawberries, for every 100 grams they will leave us 33 calories. Always add skim milk to your shake and remove the sugar. You can substitute it for half a tablespoon of honey or simply add a little cinnamon for flavor.
As we have mentioned, it is satiating. So with a glass of the strawberry and banana smoothie we will be giving the body numerous amounts of vitamins and minerals, with very few calories. For all this, it is essential to take between meals, when your body asks you for some kind of snack. Of course, always keep a balanced diet and of course, do some kind of physical activity. Soon you will notice the changes in your body!
If you want you can add a iogurt to give more creaminess to the shake !!!!
Greetings.

It's great, thanks for the recipes you send me. I would like you to give me a recipe for jam, strawberries with banana, if you know any. Thank you very much greetings.
Hi Lidia, thank you very much. I don't know of any strawberry and banana jam, but thanks for the idea… I'll get to making it soon. All the best!
Hello, Irene, if you try any and it works out, you can pass it on to me, ok. Thanks a lot. All the best.
Hello Irene:
Yesterday I made a banana marmalade with orange,
and I stay spectacular. I recommend that you try it, there is always some ripe banana that nobody wants, greetings.
Great Lidia! Can you send me the recipe to irene.arcas@actualidadblog.com?
Thank you!
Hello Irene!
Tomorrow I have guests I liked the smoothie but I am lactose intolerant. Do you think I could do it with water? It will not be the same ... But any recommendations? Thanks! All the best
Hi Monik, it is not a problem that you are lactose intolerant. I would change the water for lactose-free milk preparations like Kaiku (it can be yogurt or milk type). Lucky!
Hello, I like to add condensed milk instead of sugar and grind them in the blender, it is a bit more work, but you will see how fine the smoothie comes out. Ah, I am from the strawberry town, that is, from Lepe. All the best.
Hello Matigr72! Your suggestion is fantastic… I don't even want to imagine how delicious it will be with condensed milk. I will try it next time. Thanks for following us!!
Hello Irene, the recipe is very good, I have prepared it by putting a little protein whey for after training and it is delicious.
Thanks! I'm very glad you liked it, I personally love it. It is one of my favorite shakes 🙂
This is great and is a good way to give children fruit. Thank you very much for the recipes.
Thanks to you Soledad for following us and for writing us! 🙂
I wanted to know if I can make the strawberry smoothie without sugar?
