Chocolate Strawberry Banana Smoothie

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!
