Many people have issues digesting dairy products, hence this recipe. You won't be able detect the absence of yogurt, and I think these separate smoothie recipes would make fine daiquiri cocktails - just add a bit of rum to each ;)
I would like to say that I have tried many smoothies and i don’t like any smoothies. I found this recipe today and decided to try it and I loved it! Its my first smoothie that I actually like! Thank you so much for creating it!
