Very good and easy recipe. Add a little sugar to sweeten according to taste.

The food coloring is optional. Don't put it in if you don't want it. I'm not a big milk fan, so I just splashed in whatever I felt like, and although I love cinnamon, I just did the same with that. I prefer yogurt smoothies, but I think it's my preference for yogurt overall anyway. My fruit was a bit underripe, so needed a tad sugar to sweeten it up but I'm not concerned about that so much. If I'd have been patient, it would've certainly been sweet enough on it's own. Thanks for the recipe!

This recipe, since it has no sweetener, needs really good fruit. My strawberries are good & sweet so I didn't need it. I've been reading about the health benefits of cinnamon, but a full tsp was a bit too much for me, you can feel the grit from it. Also, I only used about 1/2c of milk, I can't imagine using the full cup since this recipe doesn't call for ice to thicken it. Mine was too milky with the amount I used.

Wow, what a poor little beat-up recipe! Check out these reviews. One person hated the idea that it calls for food coloring. Huh. One person thinks that it tastes - impossibly, look at the ingredients - like *flour*. Another person is obviously bored and wants to insult someone. A couple people think it's not sweet enough - okay, I might buy that. I made this exactly as written this morning. A perfectly decent strawberry-banana smoothie, a little heavy on the cinnamon (which I thought was interesting rather than offensive). My fruit was quite ripe, so the sweetness was perfect for me. Mine is just another opinion. Thanks for the recipe!

Quick and easy but not as sweet as I would like. I added about 3T. sugar. I did like the use of cinnamon though.

If I could give this recipe a lower star rating I would. I love the strawberry-banana flavors together, but with a recipe like this, I think this person should be banned from any kitchen anywhere.

My daughter made this because she was craving a smoothie and it was easy to make. She said it tasted like flour. We had to add more strawberries and some vanilla extract to even make it drinkable. Sorry, not a good one for us.

I'm sorry but the minute I read that the recipe called for food coloring I had to say something. A smoothie is a drink made with fruit so don't go and mess it up with something like that.

I made this smoothie twice; the first time, I did it exactly like the recipe said and it wasn't creamy enough. The cinnamon made it taste weird. The next time I left out the cinnamon, and added some vanilla ice cream, cool whip, and sugar and still didn't taste right.
