Strawberry Banana Smoothie

Posted by SnOwySnOwy - Filed under , , ,


From the Zoku blog, I followed the Strawberry Banana Smoothie recipe today and made these healthy pops for yet another hot summer day. I modified the recipe by adding too much milk in the strawberry yogurt by accident.  As a result, the color of the strawberry portion was too pale and did not have the contrast that I looked for.  In addition, I added 2 tsp of honey instead of 3 tsp as in the original recipe and the taste turned out to be not too sweet which I liked.

Strawberry Banana Smoothie

ingredients

  • 1 small banana
  • 140ml whole milk
  • 1 teaspoon lime zest
  • 3 tsp honey
  • 140 grams strawberry yogurt

preparation

Blend the banana, 110ml of the milk and 3 tsp of honey in a blender until consistency is smooth.
In a separate container, add the strawberry yogurt and 30ml of whole milk and blend well.
Insert sticks into the moulds and pour in the banana mixture to fill the moulds about half way. Wait for the banana mixture to freeze, and then pour the strawberry yogurt mixture up to the fill line.
