Title: Applebee's Bananaberry Freeze
Categories: Copycat, Smoothies
Yield: 2 Servings

10 oz Frozen sweetened sliced
-strawberries; thawed
1/3 c Pina colada mix
2 c Ice
2 Ripe bananas

MMMMM--------------------------GARNISH-------------------------------
Whipped cream
2 Fresh strawberries

Ah, if only kitchen cloning was an exact science. While working on
this one I saw the same bartender make the drink two different ways
on two different days. Only after a firm grilling did I get her
admitting to her personal "improvement" to the chain's secret recipe.
The official clone includes the ingredients found below. But if you
want to add a little pineapple juice -- as some independent thinking
bartenders are apt to do -- you might discover you have indeed
created a tastier version of this refreshing smoothie. On that day
the cloning gods shall be looking the other way. But, for heaven's
sake, be sure your banana is soft and ripe. This is a detail the gods
won't ignore.

Use a blender to puree the entire contents of the thawed box of frozen
strawberries.

Add 1/3 cup pina colada mix and 2 cups of ice to the blender.

Cut the end off end banana -- set these pieces aside to use later as a
garnish -- then put the bananas into the blender.

Blend on high speed until the ice is crushed and the drink is smooth.
Pour into two tall stemmed glasses, such as daiquiri glasses.

Slice each strawberry halfway up through the middle and add one to
the rim of each glass.

Cut each banana slice halfway through the middle and add one to the
rim of each glass next to the strawberry. Top with whipped cream and
serve with a straw.
