Strawberry Smoothie

We had bought some fresh strawberries here the other day, so I figured it would be super yummy to make a breakfast smoothie with fresh strawberries. Since it's not exactly strawberry season they were a lithe bit sour, but that was just perfect since we were out of greek yogurt, so they gave the perfect balance between the sweet banana and sour strawberry.


Ingredients:
1/2 banana
3-4 big strawberries
1/2 cup almond


1/2 frozen blueberries
1/2 cup ice cubes
Normally I would add about 1/4 - 1/2 cup of greek yogurt

Directions:
Mix all ingredients in a blender and pour into one glass.

















































Enjoy!
