Sure! Bananas, raspberries - I could make a smoothie. But next time,
because I finished this one already.

If I didn't eat a lot of yogurt, I wouldn't bother, either. But I eat
it every day, and I hate generating so much plastic waste. My city
doesn't even recycle that type of container, so I have to sneak over
to a neighboring city that does, and deposit them into a friend's
recycle bin. I've sometimes given them away on freecycle - art teachers
often take them - but even after they're reused, they still end up in
a landfill somewhere. So that's my reason for making my own. I just
hope I can make some that tastes really good.
