Strawberry, Banana, date, and almond smoothie

        This morning I randomly decided to try to make a smoothie. I pretty much went to my pantry and my fridge and brought out things that I thought would go well together. I wanted something sweet, healthy, and packed with protein. Here is what I came up with:

Serves: 2

What you will need:

• 1/2 Ripe Banana
• 7 Strawberries
• 1 Tablespoon of Coconut Oil
• 1 Tablespoon of Almond Butter
• 1 Date, pitted
• 1/2-1 scoop of Whey Protein (optional)
• 1/2 cup of Almond Milk
• Add ice (I used 5 cubes)

Directions:

• Place all ingredients in your blender

• First use the 'crush ice' function on your blender until all of the ice is crushed down to a small size
• Then use the 'liquify' option and blend for about 30-45 seconds
• Then it is ready to eat/drink!!
