This recipe is one of my favorite summer basics. It is naturally packed with Vitamin C and potassium, and a perfect pick me up during strawberry season. Though you can enjoy it year round with frozen strawberries.

If you are using fresh strawberries, I recommend freezing the banana chunks in advance, as some frozen fruit gives it the best texture. Always place the fresh fruit in your blender first, followed by the frozen. This will help less powerful blenders to get going.
