on 11/22/2005 If you want, you can make a strawberry banana smoothie. It's exactly the same recipe, only you slice up half a banana and throw it in there. That's what I did and it tastes great.

on 11/22/2005 Take some strawberries and one banana; add more of whichever flavor you want to be stronger. Chop the tops off the berries. Then cut the banana into 1/2" pieces. Drop berries and bananas into blender. Add ice. Blend until smooth. Serve.
