This recipe tasted very much like the Strawberry Banana Colada Recipe I got from the shaved ice stand! Further, the recipe I made was cheaper, more filling, and healthier than the shaved ice too.

We were headed to our favorite ice cream place for family night this week when we passed a yummy looking shaved ice booth. We flipped a U and came back around to give it a try. I had the Strawberry Banana Colada and boy was it good!

Since our family night, I have been thinking about how amazing my Strawberry Banana Colada was. Then I figured out a way to recreate it…only healthier by using real fruit.

Directions:

Prepare fruit.

VERY IMPORTANT- pour Coco Lopez in a bowl and mix/stir it before using it.

Blend ingredients.

Side note- I love my BlendTec Blender-seriously they are amazing. It continually knocks my socks off by how powerful and yet controlled it is. It has a perfect setting for blending beverages and other things like soups, dressings, etc. It’s amazing!

I was so excited to create a recipe that tasted very much like the Strawberry Banana Colada I got from the shaved ice stand! It is best served immediately.
