Nothing feels more like spring than a strawberry banana smoothie with a soft, creamy texture. The sweetness of ripe strawberries and bananas makes it easy to enjoy them at breakfast or as a light afternoon snack.

This one is a good choice for busy mornings because it is filling without feeling too heavy.

For an easy version, blend 1 cup sliced strawberries, 1 ripe banana, 1 cup milk, 1 third cup rolled oats, 1 tablespoon honey, and 4 to 5 ice cubes until smooth. Pour everything into a blender and start on low speed before blending on high for about 30 seconds. If it looks too thick, add 2 to 3 tablespoons more milk and blend again. Serve right away while it is cold and creamy.

To make it, blend 1 cup chopped mango, 1 cup pineapple chunks, 3 fourth cup plain yogurt, 1 half cup orange juice, and 5 ice cubes until smooth.
