Frugal Recipe- Strawberry Banana Smoothies, Yum!




This recipe is simple, delicious, healthy and frugal! I've broken down the out-of-pocket cost for you below.

1 medium banana (quite ripened)
6-8 frozen strawberries
1/3 cup of skim milk

Blend ingredients for about 30 seconds, poor into a beautiful glass, and enjoy! The trick is to use frozen strawberries thus eliminating the need to add ice which will water down the smoothie. Also, the natural sugar from the banana gives this all the sweetness it needs.

Aldi's price breakdown:

Strawberries- $0.57 a serving ($3.99/bag)
Milk- $0.08 for 1/3 cup ($1.99/gallon)
Bananas- $0.15/banana ($0.45/lb)

= $0.80/smoothie

Less than $1 for a yummy snack, could life get any better?
