Strawberry Banana "Green" Smoothie

I say "green" because technically it is a green smoothie. There are greens in it. But the smoothie is orange.

A lot of people don't like bananas in things because they have such a dominant flavor. Not me. I have always loved bananas. Ever since I was a kid. To the extent that my mom would let me get a treat at the store and I would choose a banana. (This is before I discovered the candy isle). But if I was really lucky, I would get a strawberry banana Yoplait yogurt. I loved those so much. If they made strawberry banana almond yogurt, I would be all over it. But alas, they don't. Oh well. That is why I make this smoothie every once in awhile. For nostalgia. And because it is thick and creamy and I love it.
