Smoothie time

I am very thankful that my apartment is furnished with a working, albeit very cheap, blender, because it means I can make smoothies. My signature smoothie recipe is as follows:
  • Three or four ice cubes
  • A big, slightly overripe banana
  • About a half-cup of pineapple
  • A few spoonfuls of yogurt
  • A splash or two of milk (optional)
I keep all these ingredients on hand at all times. Smoothie time follows the lunar calendar, but it is nevertheless somewhat unpredictable, and it's best to always be prepared.

Today I discovered that I mistakenly bought strawberry-flavored instead of plain yogurt last time I went to the store. I didn't even know they had strawberry-flavored yogurt. Turns out it is delicious in smoothies.
