We need a flavor of the month dont we?
HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM [img]graemlins/hmmm.gif[/img] ?
Think Think Think...
Well, it is strawberry/snozzberry's month, but that's too obvious.

You know what's good?
You take a banana, some yogurt (peach or banana strawberry or even mixed berry works well) some orange juice, and some berries if you like and you mix it all up in a blender. It's awesome. [img]graemlins/thumbs_up.gif[/img]
Hey, wait a minute.
SM [img]cool.gif[/img] [img]cool.gif[/img] THIES! [img]graemlins/idea.gif[/img]
And there you have it, smoothies are the flavor of the month for may.

As always all chips, chunks, dips, dunks, swirls, twirls, cups, cones, toppings, sundaes, shakes, malts, mix ins, floats, popcicles, puchups, spilts, sodas, zebras and everything else counts as well.

It's your thang'
