A few weeks ago I went strawberry picking for the first time with my 2 sister-in-laws & their little ones. I’ve been to many apple orchards over the years, although more so as a child, but I had never been strawberry picking before & I was extremely excited.

Before leaving on this strawberry adventure I made a deal with Roger not to come home with a carload full of strawberries because there is no way the two of us could eat an enormous amount of strawberries before they go bad. And so I was determined to try my hardest not to pick too many.

HAHA. That didn’t happen!

I felt like a kid in a candy store with no supervision. 

It was a good thing my little nieces were distracted by picking flowers about five minutes into strawberry picking or else I might have plowed over them in search of the hidden pink treasures. Just kidding, but seriously, I was on a strawberry picking spree! 

I ended up picking 2 & 1/2 buckets of strawberries, which isn’t too bad for a newbie strawberry picker, but I knew I couldn’t bring them all home. So I shared one bucket with my family & saved 1 & 1/2 buckets for me because I couldn’t part with any more of those little pink treasures.

The only problem is that 1 & 1/2 buckets of strawberries were still too many for the two of us to eat. So I knew I needed to create a few new strawberry recipes to help use up all of the strawberries before they went bad.

So on top of the 2-3 Fresh Strawberry Vanilla Milkshakes, I also made a few new recipes to share with you all over the next few weeks! Which brings us to this Strawberry Banana Bread!

And I’ll let you in on a little secret, I may like this Strawberry Banana Bread more than regular banana bread because it’s filled with sweet pink berries! Plus it looks so pretty!

Next week I will be sharing another new strawberry recipe, but if you can’t wait until then, be sure to also check out these Strawberries & Cream Popsicles! And don’t forget to subscribe or follow me on Pinterest & Instagram so you don’t miss out on any of these yummy new recipes!

  7. I have never been strawberry picking, but like you I have been apple picking. So this sounds like a great family fun day activity. And I would have never paired strawberries and bananas in bread, but if it works for smoothies I know it can work for bread. Yum!
