Good Morning Strawberry-Banana Smoothie

This is a yummy start to the day or good any time. Olivia Griffin says don't throw out overripe bananas. If you want it sweeter, increase the sugar by using flavored yogurt. Plan ahead for future smoothies by peeling and freezing black bananas in resealable plastic bags. Recipe courtesy of Debbie Macomber's Cedar Cove Cookbook.
