Having become a huge fan of smoothies in my teenage years in the 1970’s, and having worked at a natural foods restaurant later on in the early 1980’s, I continue to enjoy their variety of flavors from all and various fruits. Most times they are made from whatever fresh fruit we happen to have available, and my favorites have always been banana and strawberry, so when I combined these fruits with some fresh sweet pineapple, the flavor was as great as our salivating expectations.
I first wrote about my basic smoothie recipe in the post Nature’s Way And Back In the Day on October 9, 2008.
