This smoothie bowl contains protein, sweetness that isn’t artificial, and just enough liquid to qualify as a smoothie. I advise giving it a shot on your own.

Reviews
We pureed the strawberries with lemon juice and basil leaves and simple syrup. Then added mixture to each glass with bourbon, stirred and topped with soda and big ice cube. Short glasses are small for this. Very yummy
I substituted the lemon juice with fresh lime juice. It was delicious and would make it again.
5.17.20 I’m pretty basic when it comes to cocktails: a Maker’s Mark Manhattan, very dry Tanqueray martini with a twist, or a scotch and water. But this combination piqued my curiosity. Granted, it’s a bit fancy-schmancy for me, but the combination of the strawberries, fresh basil, and bourbon are really harmonious. A break from tradition today for a pre-dinner cocktail, and we enjoyed it!
