Directions

1. Add the strawberries, banana, orange, 3/4 cup of milk, and vanilla extract to a blender. If you plan to add any, add optional ingredients to the blender.
2.   Turn the blender on and blend until creamy and smooth. If the smoothie is too thick, add a bit more milk. Add a few ice cubes and blend until smooth for an icy cold smoothie.
