Banana & Strawberry Smoothie

My hubby and I are both lazy at chewing (who's not?). We just cannot sit down and eat a whole pound of strawberries one by one. Then I found this book, The Perfect Blend, by Love Fruit. There are so many cool recipes with colorful pictures (by the way, if you need me to read anything, please add pictures, I can't stand a lengthy boring text writing).

Thus, starting from now, I will try to post those recipes that we are addicted to. Hopefully you could make some at home as well and please don't forget to invite us (we are friends, right?)

1 frozen banana (so you don't need to add more ice cubes)
1/2 cup fresh strawberries, hulled
Generous 2/3 cup plain yogurt

Put the banana, strawberries, and yogurt into a food processor or blender and process for a few seconds until smooth.

Pour into glasses and serve at once.

Use a thin slide of strawberry to decorate.
