Fruit Smoothie

Ingredients (use vegan versions):

• 1 frozen banana (best if cut into 1-inch chuncks, then frozen)
• 1/2 - 1 cup hulled strawberries (don''t need to cut them up)
• 1/4 - 1/2 cup vegan soymilk, orange juice, or water
• cinnamon to taste

Directions:

Add all of the ingredients in a blender. I start with 1/4 cup of liquid and add more depending on how thick I want the smoothie. Blend in spurts until smooth.

Variations:

* Use peaches, blueberries, apple slices, or more bananas in place of strawberries (or combine them!) May need to vary the liquid depending on the juciness of the fruit.

* Use fresh bananas and 1-2 ice cubes

* In addition to the cinnamon, add one or more of: nutmeg, cloves, ginger, vanilla
