Chocolate Banana Smoothie, with sprinkles because Sprinkles make everything more fun!
OK, this post really isn’t about how to make a smoothie. You all know how to do that. Throw a bunch of yummy stuff in a blender and turn it on till it’s all blended together.
But do you see the rim of that glass?
This is how to make a smoothie or any other drink, fun!
I saw this post back last fall, from Cravings of a Lunatic.
The post was about making your own colored sugar. Pretty cool post.
But then Kim took that sugar and put it on the rim of a glass.
So pretty, so fun, I have to do this!

February 29, 2012 at 9:19 amWOW..who wouldn’t love that smoothie? I definitely have to make this..although I was thinking of adding some peanut butter to it ;D You definitely have to try the popovers, they’re so simple, but so amazing aesthetically and taste/texture wise, especially with whatever you add to them or spread on them.
