Creamed Mushroom with Black Pepper

Do you love mushroom just as much as I do? I guess I can eat mushroom almost everyday and I will never get bored. The recipe I am going to share today is a simple one and takes less than half an hour to prepare. This is however a side dish,... and I would say not even a dish, more like an accompanying sauce. You can eat it with your breakfast toast, pour it over steak or use as a  great pasta sauce.

Ready in: 15 minutes
Yields: serves 4 people

Ingredients:

• 2 cups of strawberry (fresh/frozen),
• 1 cup chilled milk,
• 2 ripe banans,
• 1 table spoon honey and

Process:

• Cut strawberries and banans into small pieces.

• Put all the ingredients in a blender.

• Blend with 1 minute pulses until everything is well mixed and blended. For a healthier option put away the icecream which I did ;-). And here you are with mind blowing glass of smoothie, you can even keep it in the fridger if you prefer it more chilled.
