We love a good Summertime Strawberry Banana Smoothie for a rich, nutrient dense, low sugar smoothie! It's that time of year again...It's SUMMERTIME!!!! Summer may still be on its way in where you live, but in Miami, we are already in the full brunt of it - and soaking up that gorgeous Florida sunshine every chance we get!
While we Miamians love our summers, it kind of poses a problem...of course we want to look good in our summer clothes (which are basically bathing suits and sundresses or shorts and tank tops), but we also want lots of nice, cold refreshments.
Why we love this Summertime Strawberry Banana Smoothie
It's hot out, of course we want to drink cold beverages! And ice cream, and milk shakes...you know what I'm talking about, right? One of the biggest hurdles in weight loss is not "wasting" your calories on beverages.
They really sneak up on you! I came up with this delicious Summertime Strawberry Banana Smoothie using SPLENDA ZERO™ Liquid Sweetener to save myself a few calories on one of my favorite summertime treats. It's like a strawberry milkshake without the guilt!
The biggest difference between a smoothie and a milkshake - for me, at least - is that smoothies aren't typically very sweet.

Did you know: Not all yellow packets contain SPLENDA® Sweeteners?! When ordering at coffee shops or restaurants, make sure to ask for the SPLENDA® Brand by name! If you don’t , they may serve you a generic sweetener in a yellow packet, not your beloved SPLENDA® Brand!
Tips for Cooking & Baking with SPLENDA® Sweetener Products
You can use SPLENDA® Sweetener Products for all kinds of cooking and baking, but especially when used to sweeten in recipes. Just make sure to follow the conversion instructions, as it does not always convert cup-for-cup for sugar. It works really well with citrus to enhance the flavors and does a great job in baked goods like cookies and cakes!
