Strawberry Smoothie

@EatingWell User you obviously missed the "if desired" part of the recipe. ANY sweetener (natural preferably) will suffice. Just enjoy the smoothie as is if you have a problem with sugar. Small amounts are fine, this isn't a candy or breakfast bar laden with sweeteners. As for the recipe, we love the very simple, on-the-go aspect of the smoothie itself. We did find the buttermilk added an necessary tartness. However, as m.d0d83 pointed out, milk subs are perfectly fine as preferences dictate taste. Nicely done!

Tasty treat!I was looking for a quick treat using whatever I had on hand. I don't have buttermilk, but used the age-old substitution (milk, soy milk in my case, and a squeeze of a lemon = buttermilk). I didn't add the ice since this seemed to be perfect just the way it was. I enjoyed the tartness the cranberry juice gave the smoothie! Yum! I will make again.Pros: Easy, had everything on hand
