Notes
In summer, our bananas always seem to ripen faster than we can eat them and this is a good way to not waste them. We purchase large bags of whole frozen strawberries. Using them frozen is so much better than adding ice to the blender, as the fruit is not diluted. We prefer adding ginger ale, to top off the smoothies, but they can be had without the soda, or any plain carbonated beverage (Sprite. 7-Up, Seltzer) can be added. We find the "bubbles" from the carbonation takes away from the "heavy feeling" so much fruit sometimes has.
