Notes

Tips & swaps
  • Kids helping? Let them peel the banana and add the strawberries, while an adult handles the blender.
  • Ice pops: pour leftovers into ice-pop molds and freeze for a healthy summer treat.
  • Sneak in veggies: a handful of spinach turns it purple-brown but adds nutrients without changing the taste much. Try 1/2 cup frozen cauliflower rice instead to keep it pink.
