This smoothie was delicious! Next time I would use frozen fruit instead, because I like my smoothies to be a little colder. Overall it's awesome though!

very yummy! I tweaked mine to work with ingredients I had available.. honey nut cherrios, vanilla yogart, frozen blackberries and i used a whole banana instead of a half. When I opted to make a smoothie for breakfast my three year old loved it!
