Only water I ever add is ice... use your imgination... any fresh
fruit; banana, melon, pineapple, citrus, berries, ice cream and rum...
a big spoonful of coco lopez makes it perfection. Make chocolate
smoothies too, all kinds, with toasted nuts, chocolate, cherry,
orange, coffee, whatever. The combo of chocolate and pineapple is
sexcellent, it's called a "Hoboken".
