Comments
This hits the mark for simplicity and cost—a banana, milk, and ice from Harris Teeter or Food Lion run about $0.75 to $1.00 per serving, and every Charlotte grocer stocks all three year-round. The stated five minutes is honest, maybe even generous; it's genuinely a blender job with no prep. The real limitation is portability and leftovers: a smoothie does not keep more than an hour, so it's a drink you make and consume immediately, and the single-serving yield means no family meals or lunch-box packing from one batch.
