 question about home made fruit smoothies? i like to make my own fruit smoothies with strawberries, pine apple, yogurt, bananas, and some kind of fruit juice. usually i have the smoothie right away, but if i were to put it into a seeled container would it be able to keep for awhile in the refrigerater without going bad? if so, for how long would u say? It tends to lose some of it's froth (volume). Otherwise it's fine. I wouldn't store it more than 2 days. I always add orange juice to mine. The bananas make it too bland otherwise. |

7 Delicious Strawberry Smoothie Recipes
7 Delicious Strawberry Smoothie Recipes
Are you a smoothie lover? Looking for some new smoothie recipes that use strawberries? If so, I would like to share 7 of my favorite strawberry smoothie recipes with you.
Let's take a look at why strawberries are good for you. Strawberries are high in Vitamin C and a great source of dietary fiber. Strawberries may help to prevent heart attacks, strokes, cancer and Alzheimer's disease.
All of these smoothie recipes use strawberries, along with some additional ingredients. If you are looking to cut calories, you can substitute the milk with skim milk, or the ice cream with low-fat yogurt.
If you like your smoothies really sweet, try adding 1-2 tablespoons of honey to your recipe. I always serve my smoothies in a chilled glass, but you can serve them any way that you like. You can drink them straight from the glass, use a straw or eat them with a spoon. It is best to always serve your smoothies immediately.
