Strawberry Banana Smoothie

Updated on August 16th 2015: I first posted this strawberry banana smoothie on April 2nd, 2014, which was a couple of months after I started this blog. I’m slowly going through older posts to update them with new photos, content, and recipes (if necessary)! 🙂

Yay for smoothies! I made a strawberry banana smoothie this past Saturday for the first time in months! I’ve been on a huge blueberry kick lately, so I’ve been making lots of smoothies with blueberries! Sometimes, a blueberry oatmeal smoothie and sometimes I’d mix it up with other fruits and juices depending what was in my fridge.

When I decided to make the classic strawberry banana smoothie, I came to look at this old blog post from April ’14 and I decided it was time to update this post. For one, the photo was very plain, but I was very new at food photography at the time, so that was to be expected. I also had a boring blurb going on about how I was cheating on paleo by having a bowl of cereal. Definitely not paleo anymore, so yeah. Time to update this post and make it prettier!

Blueberry Oatmeal Smoothie

Blueberry Oatmeal Smoothie

I’m going to be honest with you. I don’t actually love the photos I took for this post. I kinda want to retake them. I’m learning more about photography as I go and I don’t exactly see what’s wrong with the photos until the photo session is way over. But I’m starting to notice composition issues and how I could have fixed them, how to balance the light better, etc. and I know now what I could have done to make these photos look even better! Though there are lots of photos from older posts that look way worse that are on my radar to fix first. I’m a bit nit-picky when it comes to my own work.

Okay, that’s all! Thanks for letting me share that with you. I feel much better now.

Jason and I are really bad about having breakfast during the week. It almost never happens. It’s something we’re trying to work on and one step we’ve taken to get towards that is having smoothies!

We don’t have a good reason as to why we don’t do the breakfast thing. It’s straight up laziness. We pretty much stay in bed until we have to get up most days. And making smoothies only takes a quick couple of minutes and we can just have it on the way to work!

I’ve been making green smoothies, strawberry banana smoothies, my favorite: chocolate peanut butter banana smoothie, and as of recently, my latest obsession: blueberry oatmeal smoothies!…

Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Smoothie

Chocolate and peanut butter, amirite? The best!

This smoothie has been my recent go-to when I either want a quick breakfast or a treat after a meal. Depending what I have in my fridge at the time, I go back and forth between whole, grass-fed milk and almond milk. It’s tasty no matter which I go with and I barely notice a difference between the two….

Chocolate Avocado “Milkshake”

Chocolate Avocado "Milkshake"

OMGCHOCOLATE. This chocolate avocado “milkshake” is more of a smoothie (there’s no dairy in it), but the avocado adds a delicious, creamy texture; it reminds me of having a healthier milkshake.

Are you weirded out by chocolate and avocado being in the same sentence and food? If so, that’s okay; I thought it was weird at first, too!  If someone came to me five years ago and said, “Someday, you will have an avocado smoothie and LIKE IT,” I think I would have laughed? Maybe? Okay, probably not. I’m always up for trying new things, but I was not about eating “healthy” for a very long time. These days? I embrace it!

As long as it also tastes good, that is….
