STRAWBERRY BANANA SMOOTHIE!

This recipe is a modification of the MIXED BERRY SMOOTHIE that you will also find in this blog, consequently this recipe too is one modified from a recipe found on food.com.  That being said, this smoothie recipe is extra FANTASTIC because it is quick, easy to make, and its easily modifiable.  You can use any fresh or frozen fruit you have in the fridge, any juice that you like, and any milk that tickles your fancy.  Try soy, rice or almond milk, heck you could even use cow's milk (but then this recipe is no longer vegan of course)!  My personal preference is rice milk over the others because I like the flavor and its a little bit sweeter, but you should experiment and have fun with it; find what works best for you!  Also, if you have fresh fruit instead of frozen fruit, I recommend freezing before using (if you have time) to get the most desirable consistency.  The following, as with the MIXED BERRY SMOOTHIE recipe, is a representation of my favorite combination of ingredients.  Eat for breakfast, eat with lunch, eat as a snack, but most importantly ENJOY!
