Before: A few weeks ago, two of my favorite people (my mom and my niece) came to visit for the weekend. What better way to welcome them into my home than a tasty Sandra Lee drink? Since Skylar is a minor, we chose one of a handful of Sandra's non-alcoholic drinks. I would argue that a few sips of some of Sandra's more questionable drinks would be sure to turn her off drinking forever, but I also want her parents to let her come visit again so we went alcohol free. I chose the tropical smoothie mostly because it was the first one I flipped to in Semi-Homemade Cocktail Time. A bonus was that I didn't have to go out and buy anything weird that will stay in my cabinets for years.
As far as smoothies go, Sandra's tropical smoothie is fine. It's certainly not anything I'd go out of my way to have again, but it's not terrible. It's mostly just banana, yogurt, pineapple and coconut milk. Nothing groundbreaking and really not something you'd need a recipe to make. My biggest complaint is that it makes a lot of smoothie. The Vanilla Choco-tini makes a tiny little drink and the tropical smoothie makes a huge tumblerful of drink. Where's the consistency? Maybe that's too much to expect from Sandra and her team of writers. We were all tired of drinking the tropical smoothie pretty quickly and then it was just warm fruity tasting foam. No one wants that. Oddly enough, I thought a little rum would have actually improved the drink. You know Sandra adds some to hers.
After drink reactions:
- A little bland, but I actually like it.
- Really good - very thick and creamy.
- It's refreshing and I like the glass.
- An average smoothie
- Needs rum...
