1 tablespoon applesauce
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/8 teaspoon cinnamon

Many fruits make delicious smoothie "ice cream." Try apples or pears as well, just peel and pop in microwave until softened. After you core the fruit, mash or puree it in a blender.

Try juicy fruits such as peaches (is really good) or pineapple. Omit the applesauce if you choose, and substitute artificial sweetener instead. Try a splash of lemon or lime for a sweet/tart taste.

Hey, would you bring me one? sounds so good!

Gims, I would love to but these are so EASY to make. Try one!

I forgot to get the apple sauce while at the grocery today... got or have everything else... I'm gonna dig out my grinder and grind an apple to substitute... don't really like apple sauce, anyway... love apple butter, but not applesauce.

My recipe says you can SKIP the applesauce and add artificial sweetener instead if you prefer, my dear...

[I] Don't use artificial sweeteners.... I have on occasion, but it's rare... really rare. [I} Don't like the twangy taste I get from it... other reasons, too, but that's the main one.
