Ingredients

  • 1 frozen banana , sliced
  • 1 cup frozen strawberries
  • 2 tablespoons elderberry syrup (see notes)
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/4 cup orange juice

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a blender, combine the banana, strawberries, elderberry syrup, water, and orange juice. Blend until very smooth. If you need extra liquid to faciliate blending, you can add up to a 1/4 cup more of orange juice or water, and blend again.
  2. Serve right away for the best taste and texture. If you have leftovers, you can freeze them into popsicle molds for an easy treat later.

Notes

  • This recipe makes roughly 2 cups, so the nutrition information is for 1 serving, or 1 cup. This information is automatically calculated, and is just an estimate, not a guarantee.
  • Note: I used homemade elderberry syrup when testing this recipe, and the serving size for my homemade syrup is 1 tablespoon. If you're using a store-bought elderberry syrup, I would go with the serving size on the package, which may be only 1 teaspoon. So, to make two servings, you'd use 2 teaspoons of elderberry syrup in that case.
