Made half this recipe today for lunch. Had to use frozen strawberries this time of year, but will be making again in June when I can get oodles of fresh berries. Thanks for sharing mersaydees. Made for Pick A Chef Spring 2011. -
WOW! Two of your smoothies in 2 days, but what can I say but that "I love smoothies, most definitely!" I used the frozen strawberries that I always have on hand & added a scoop of protein powder! I did have to add a bit more milk so I'd have enough liquid for the frozen berries, but that didn't detract from the drink's great taste! Wonderful!
