Tropical Fun Smooth (Kristi Original and Named by Nevaeh)

My kids and their friend loved this so much they drank the entire blender full of smoothy and left me with a shot glass full. I'm glad they liked it!

2 Ripe Bananas
5-6 Cut Up Strawberries
1-2 Cups of Sweetened Almond Milk
1 tsp (Estimate, just a dump) of Mexican Vanilla Extract *You can use any vanilla extract
5 Ice Cubes

Blend and Enjoy!

I wanted to make a quick list of all the things I made so I could remember for next year. Please add in the comments if you have any additional ideas. :)
