With every recipe you make you may find another way to make it so that you like it even more. I have found that with this recipe you can add other fruits to change the flavor. Also, I have used other flavors of yogurt like strawberry, banana cream pie, strawberry cheesecake, and strawberry banana. Any of these flavor yogurts taste good with this recipe, but don't trust my word on it.... try it out on your own. It has been my experience that when you tweak a recipe to the way you like it the more likely you will be to make it and enjoy it. Be Happy Eat Healthy
We all know what we feel like the week of finals... We feel sluggish, stressed, and tired. This strawberry smoothie has all the vitamins you need to boost you up and make you feel great. Not only will your body feel great, but so will your wallet because this is a cheap recipe. I know not all of us may own a blender, but I do know of a couple of dorms that have some so you could take advantage of that.
