Vanilla-Fruit Smoothie image

Ninety percent of the time, I eat savory breakfasts. But I don't like to impose my will on others (at least not early in the morning), so when there are guests, I tend to make smoothies. I'm a big believer in frozen fruit, especially off season; it's much more flavorful than, say, Chilean peaches.

This smoothie is the perfect way to cool down on a hot day. It's light and refreshing, and the fruit flavors really shine through. I love that it's also packed with nutrients.

Meh. It was okay, but I've definitely had better smoothies. The flavor was a bit bland, and the texture was a bit watery.

Not bad! I thought the vanilla flavor was a bit too strong, but the fruit helped to balance it out. I would probably use less vanilla next time.

Delicious and refreshing! The vanilla and fruit flavors blend together perfectly. I added a scoop of Greek yogurt for extra protein, and it was the perfect balance of sweetness and tartness.

So easy and quick to make, and it tastes amazing! I used frozen bananas and strawberries, and the smoothie was thick and creamy. I also added a bit of honey to sweeten it up. Perfect for a quick breakfast or snack.

This smoothie is incredibly refreshing and flavorful! The vanilla and fruit combination is perfect, and the texture is smooth and creamy. I added a scoop of protein powder for an extra boost, and it was delicious. I'll definitely be making this again
