What is cavitation? It’s what happens when food doesn’t get mixed well in a blender. If you don’t have a powerful blender, follow manufacturer instructions for what ingredients to add first to avoid cavitation. Blend: If you have a high-powered blender (I recommend a Vitamix® or Blendtec®), you can add everything in and blend until smooth.(Throwing random ingredients in a blender can often end up giving you way too much smoothie or tasting, well, nasty.) It’s also a good idea to measure if you’re tracking macros or calories. Measure: While it might seem silly to actually measure out ingredients for a smoothie instead of just throwing everything in the blender, I highly recommend measuring ingredients the first few times you make this until you have a feel for the quantities.Honestly, having a completely frozen banana (as opposed to an unfrozen one) is what makes this smoothie so spectacular.
I like to prep the bananas right after I get home from the grocery store so I don’t forget! Remove the peel, slice the banana into coins, place in freezer-safe containers or bags, and freeze overnight.
And I couldn’t be more excited about that! Not only is my Strawberry Banana Smoothie free of ice cream and fake strawberry syrups, but it’s also packed with ingredients I feel good about them eating!
