BASKIN-ROBBINS STRAWBERRY SMOOTHIE

BASKIN-ROBBINS STRAWBERRY SMOOTHIE
When Irv Robbins was discharged from the army in 1945,
he hooked up with his brother-in-law Burt Baskin and the
two opened an ice cream parlor in Glendale, California. A
simple coin flip determined whose name would go first on
the sign. By 1948 six Baskin-Robbins stores had opened
their doors and the concept of franchising in the ice cream
industry was born.
As in the previous recipe, you may want to let the fruit
thaw out a bit here so that you can chop up the strawberries
and get a more accurate measure.The word on the street is
that some of those frozen whole strawberries can be quite
big. Chopping them up first also helps you get a smoother
blend going.

1 cup Kern’s strawberry nectar
¾ cup frozen whole strawberries, chopped
1 scoop fat-free vanilla frozen yogurt
3 or 4 ice cubes

Combine all ingredients in a blender and blend on high
speed until all the ice is crushed and the drink is smooth.
