Smoothie
This smoothie is so good! I think the banana I used wasn't ripe, so it didn't taste as good as it could've, but it is so delicious. You have to try it!!!

Tastes great!
This is easy to make and I never tried soy milk before this because I'm not a big "milk" drinker anyway, but I love this smoothie.
