Fruit smoothies are an awesome way to get your fruit servings for the day…they are also a great way to satisfy dessert cravings.

There are hundreds of strawberry smoothie recipes online, but the best ones are the ones you make to your taste.

Generally, you will need:

Four or five fresh strawberries (can be frozen)

One banana

Yoghurt or milk (half cup)

Half an orange (if you have any lying around)

Few drops of lime juice

A couple of pineapple chunks (if you have any lying around)

One to two tablespoons of sugar, sweetener, or honey (depending on your preference)

Half cup of icecubes

All you have to do is to blend all these ingredients for two minutes pour them in a glass, garnish and drink up!

You can also add other ingredients. Popular choices include: dates instead of sugar, kiwi slices, soy milk, strawberry syrup, mint leaves, blueberries.

Please join UeaT in remembering those Canadians who made incredible sacrifices for a secure and stable Canada.
