Strawberry Banana Smoothie

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.
