by Gertie Terry

What do you think is the most common type of smoothie?

What sort of results would you get if you took a poll?

Odds are, strawberry banana smoothies would top the list. Something that is so popular has to be good! It's time to hop on to this trend and maybe even add your own twist.

What is it about strawberry and banana that makes the combo so popular?

Banana is a creamy and mellow-sweet fruit, for one thing. We know strawberries are sweet too, but they're also on the tart side and extremely flavorful. Mix the two together, and you have a perfect duo. The most common strawberry banana smoothies include fruits of the same name along with ice and milk. This is a great recipe all on its own, but there are certainly ways to improve upon the recipe.

The beauty of smoothies is that you can put almost any combination of fruits into a blender and come out with a great taste!

Here's another idea:

Try mixing some blueberries with strawberry banana smoothies. The difference in flavor will be subtle, but delicious.

If you're having trouble getting your daily dose of antioxidants in you'll love this smoothie version. By the way, chocolate does wonderful things for smoothies made with strawberries and bananas.

Ever tried strawberries and bananas coated in chocolate?

If you have, then you know how good it tastes. So try adding a bit of chocolate ice cream (or chocolate flavored yogurt) and you'll have a new favorite. Of course, it also pays off to make your smoothie drink as healthy as possible. This might sound strange, but adding kale or chard to your drink can give you a great dose of vitamins. You'll still get the great flavor of the bananas and strawberries, but you'll also be getting a serving of vegetables.

Play around with the results you get. You'll soon be making all different kinds of strawberry and banana concoctions. Your doctor will be amazed at your excellent level of health if you make this a regular habit! But to get started, you'll want to search for the best smoothie recipes around. Use them as a foundation to get you started in a world healthy, delicious smoothies.
