Whenever I make a smoothie, I almost always include a frozen banana and some almond milk. Well, what do you do when you’re missing both? You improvise, and boy did I come up with something tasty!
I substituted orange juice for the almond milk and used a combination of frozen blueberries and strawberries instead of the banana. Once again, this smoothie is super simple, but aren’t they all? That is why I love making smoothies. They’re so easy to make and taste so good.
Since I don’t have much more to say about my berry smoothie, I thought I’d fill out this holiday survey that has been traveling around the blog world lately.
