This elderberry smoothie is made with elderberry syrup, and makes it even easier to take. (Especially for kids!) Paired with strawberries and bananas, this is the perfect smoothie to enjoy during cold & flu season.
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.
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.
