This is a simple, fast way to make strawberry smoothies. First you start with frozen strawberries. You can get these in Texas year round, unlike fresh strawberries which you can’t get in the dead of winter (or they’re expensive).
You will need a decent blender. I use a $25 Oster blender from Walmart. It doesn’t have to be fancy. But you do want a crush ice pulse setting.
You will need:
1 handful / 1.5 cup fulls of frozen strawberries
10-12 ounces of juice
1 banana
Put the strawberries in first and pulse with ice crush till you’ve chopped them up. You will want to break these down. You must start with the strawberries first. If you do not, then it’s harder to break them up I found. Especially if the juice you’re putting in is cold to slushie.
Next add the juice and banana. Then put it on the puree selection until it all mixes up. This will be icey / slushie consistency. If you want it more liquid, use more juice or let the strawberries thaw a bit. Thicker, use less juice.
I’m trying to get somewhat natural foods into myself and since I can’t chew hard things, this helps. I think though that I’d wait awhile after the surgery till things heal up. I wouldn’t want to get a strawberry seed stuck in my wounds.
Sounds good. Think I will make some tomr.
