Low-Fat Strawberry Banana Smoothie

I stopped by the Mall of Georgia today on the way home from staying with my cousin in Atlanta. Terrible idea, but that's beside the point. I was walking past the food court and Smoothie King caught my eye. I LOVE their angel food cake smoothies. They're healthy and oh so delicious. However, they are EXPENSIVE. I don't understand paying $5 and $6 dollars for a small smoothie. That blows my mind.

When I got home, I still had the crave for a cold smoothie treat and decided to make one myself. This was very easy to make and much cheaper than the Smoothie King rip-off. I just googled low-fat strawberry smoothie recipe and this one came up. I happened to have bananas at home so I chose this one over the many others. I altered the recipe a little, mainly because I have no idea where to buy ginger root (?) or vanilla protein power (ew). I bought the regular store bough pomegranate juice, which might not have been as healthy, but tasted just fine. 

Enjoy!
