The 1-1-1 Quick & Delicious Smoothie !

One of the fastest, healthiest, and most filling snacks my daughter and I make is the 1-1-1 smoothie. We make it for breakfast, and for mid-morning or late-afternoon snack times. It’s so easy and delicious.

Here’s why it’s called a 1-1-1 smoothie: we use 1 cup of high-protein milk, 1 frozen banana, and 1 cup of fruit.

The reason this smoothie is filling is because we use high protein milk. We love the Fairlife brand of milk. High protein milk is cold-filtered and results in milk that is 50% more protein and 50% less sugar than regular milk. It’s also lactose-free.

Frozen Strawberry Banana Daiquiris

These frozen daiquiris have become a summer favorite!  Made using Bacardi’s Strawberry Daiquiri Mixer with the addition of a ripe banana, these drinks are smooth, tasty, and easy to make.

By definition, a daiquiri is made with rum, lime juice, and a sweetener. Daiquiris originated in Cuba over 100 years ago as a shaken drink.  According to Kitchn.com, drinks made with fruit juice, creme, or eggs are shaken to introduce air bubbles that give a frothy appearance.  Try making a shaken recipe from a fellow blogger at Charly’s Bar, here.  You may find other drinks you might like there, too!

Bacardi’s Strawberry Daiquiri Mixer does in fact contain sugar, lime pulp, and lime juice as part of its ingredients, as well as crushed strawberries.  You can find this mixer in the freezer section of your grocery store, next to the lemonade and orange juice.

Try these daiquiris with rum for the adults and without rum for the kids!  Let me know of any other variations that you like. Continue reading →
