This is a super simple recipe to whip up in your food processor. You could also try it in a blender for those of you that want to, you may just have to add a little more liquid in order to allow it to do it's thing. This made a huge amount of "yogurt." Jamal and I ate some after dinner and I had the rest as a smoothie for breakfast the next morning... I just placed it in a ball jar and stored it in the refrigerator overnight where it thawed into a perfect smoothie consistency.
Ingredients:
1 lb fresh strawberries, preferably organic
5 frozen bananas, cut into chunks
2-3 tsp. powdered probiotics
Directions:
Wash all of the strawberries thoroughly. Cut off green stems. Place strawberries, banana chunks and powered probiotics in the food processor. Process until creamy and smooth. If you like it thicker, add more frozen banana's. If you want it thinner add some liquid.
Tips from Shelly: By all means, use frozen strawberries if you have those on hand, especially this time of year when they are extremely expensive. I just happened to be in the right place at the right time and got a discounted container for $0.79. If using frozen, you can either thaw them a little or add a little non dairy milk in order to process the frozen yogurt effectively. If you are not opposed to eating real dairy yogurt, by all means, add a few scoops of plain yogurt to the mix instead of the powdered probiotics. Also, the probiotics are not necessary. Just the strawberry and banana combo is fabulous on its own so don't worry if you can't find them or don't want to purchase something extra.
Enjoy!
