I know, who would have thought that I, Rosemary, would be making a smoothie? A Chocolate Strawberry Banana Smoothie to be exact.
When I first got invited to share my recipes along with 41 other amazing bloggers, to this amazing Recipe E-Book. I noticed that there were different dishes that were being featured.
One was 5 minute snacks, which was easy enough. And then there was one that was completely out of my league. Green Smoothies. When I read that I thought: “Smoothies”?
I don’t make smoothies and I don’t drink smoothies and I certainly can’t imagine a green one!” That my friends was and is my daughter’s job.
My eldest daughter would make herself a smoothie every afternoon, she would continually tell me how yummy they were and that I really had to try one.
So needless to say, I asked her for a quick smoothie course. And that my friends was the beginning of a new and happy relationship with me and Smoothies.
Ok I have to admit, my smoothies maybe aren’t the ones that everyone will say “Oh my, that is the healthiest Smoothie ever”, but they will say “Now, that is a good Smoothie”.
Chocolate Strawberry Banana Smoothie
I decided that I was going to try a strawberry smoothie. Since strawberries are really starting to show themselves in every grocery store I enter these days.
And a banana. Because a banana is probably one of the best fruits to include, especially if it is frozen because it makes it so deliciously thick, (that was something I learned in my course).
And how could I have forgotten chocolate, my new favourite of course, White Chocolate. I melted the chocolate together with the milk and blended everything together to make a thick wonderfully tasty Chocolate Strawberry Banana Smoothie. Enjoy!
Chocolate Strawberry Banana Smoothie
Ingredients
- 5 strawberries quartered
- 1/3 banana frozen
- 1 tablespoon greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1-2 ounces white chocolate (depending on how chocolatey you like it, I used white chocolate but I'm sure dark would work too) (25-50 grams)
Instructions
- In a small pot melt white chocolate and milk together, let cool.
- In a blender add strawberries, frozen banana, yogurt, and milk/chocolate mixture.Blend until combined. If too thick add a little extra milk. Enjoy!

This recipe sounds wonderful. I am going to make them using the dark chocolate and I might also add a hint of vanilla as well. Thanks for the recipe.

You might be the first person I’ve known that doesn’t about live on smoothies! Really?? Oh my gosh, we make them nearly every day!! Always with frozen banana, never with chocolate.

Hi Renee, haha I just might be. What can I say, better late than never.
