Skip the Starbucks stop today!

While dealing with this temper-mental weather conditions here in southern california, one day Im craving some warm soup and bread then the next day Im needing something cold and icy!

This weekend is a warm one and much appreciated- especially after all the heavy downpour and chilly temperatures last week! So of what am I craving? Something cold... icy... perhaps a little chunky?

Try this delicious "Mocha chip banana Crush" and skip the Starbucks stop today!

What you need! (for 1 serving)

What to do!
Put all ingredients in a blender and blend and ta daa... there you have it!
