“Tropical Smoothie” Smoothies

Last summer, my aunt left me a message on Facebook about Tropical Smoothie giving away a free smoothie if you came in with flip-flops.  The boys and I jumped on that deal.  As a result, the Imaginative One fell in love with the strawberry banana smoothie (I don’t remember its real name).  Once I got the smoothie maker, the Imaginative One and I decided to try to recreate the smoothie.  I had to add a little of this, and a little of that before the Imaginative One gave his seal of approval.

These are not exactly like the smoothies from Tropical Smoothie, but they are similar.
