Bananaberry Freeze

Bananaberry Freeze

if you want to add a little pineapple juice as some independent thinking bartenders are apt to do, you might discover you
have indeed created a tastier version of this refreshing smoothie.But, be sure your banana is soft and ripe.

1 10-ounce box frozen sweetened sliced strawberries, thawed
1/3 cup pina colada mix
2 cups ice
2 ripe bananas

Garnish
whipped cream
2 fresh strawberries

1. Use a blender to puree the entire contents of the thawed box of frozen strawberries.

2. Add 1/3 cup pina colada mix and 2 cups of ice to the blender.

3. Cut the end off end banana — set these pieces aside to use later as a garnish — then put the bananas into the blender.

4. Blend on high speed until the ice is crushed and the drink is smooth. Pour into two tall stemmed glasses, such as daiquiri
glasses.

5. Slice each strawberry halfway up through the middle and add one to the rim of each glass.

6. Cut each banana slice halfway through the middle and add one to the rim of each glass next to the strawberry. Top with
whipped cream and serve with a straw.

Makes 2 servings.
