Strawberry Smoothie

 I am a Smoothie fan... for me, it wins over milk-shakes or over any drink for that matter... I experiment with almost every fruit .. will share the good ones off and on...

This is a fairly simple and probably the most common Smoothie... yet wanted to share it.. it's an all time favorite :)

Healthy Breakfast - ABC Smoothie

Since I started blogging, have got into this habit of randomly reading recipes posted by my fellow bloggers and ofcourse book-marking a few in the process as well.  While browsing I came across Kristin's Banana-Cocoa Smoothie ... was just too too tempted to try it immediately and so I did :) .. a few changes in the recipe and I could tweek it perfectly to my taste.. Loved it .. to the extent that I had 2 glasses of it :))

I used Almonds, Banana & Chocolate for my Smoothie .. naming it ABC SMOOTHIE.. Before we begin the process, chill 2 empty glasses in the refrigerator for serving the smoothie.

All we need is:

Banana - 1

Yogurt/ Curd - 1/2 cup

Milk - 3/4 cup

Cocoa Powder - 1 Tablespoon

Nutella Choc Spread - 1 teaspoon (Choc-lovers could pop in a big dallop ;))

Almonds - 5

Banana Slices & Chocolate Sauce - for garnish

Ice Cubes - few (optional)

Combine all the above ingredients in a blender. Pour into chilled glasses and garnish with banana slices & chocolate sauce.
