· My Kitchen Story
I enjoyed preparing this delicious smoothie. It was fun mixing the ingredients together for everyone to try and sample. Smoothies are quick and simple. Anyone can take the time out and prepare one no matter what time of day it is and enjoy a good treat. When I was through me and my little sister sampled it and it turned out great!! We both enjoyed it and hopefully we may make them more often!
