This recipe could not be easier to make. Just start by placing your frozen strawberries and bananas in a blender along with the almond milk.

I like to process these items first to make sure that the fruit is nicely pureed.

Next, add the Carnation Breakfast Essentials® French vanilla powder. brown sugar substitute, and pure vanilla extract and blend until smooth.

I love to serve my smoothies in mason jar mugs with a super wide smoothie straw.

This gives a fun look to the breakfast table and makes the smoothie easy to drink. If you like, you can add a bit of fresh fruit to add some extra fiber to the meal.
