     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.
