This time of year always makes me reflect on my childhood and all the fun little things my mom, dad and grandma would do for me. I call them “little traditions”. One of these favorite memories is my abuelita(grandma) making me her famous licuados aka smoothies. She would grab bananas, an egg, chocomil( a Quik) powder, ice and throw it in a blender for me every morning.

It would be my morning sendoff and I now create a licuado for my kiddos, except I use fresh fruit, yogurt, milk and crushed ice. It’s delicious and it reminds me of my mom and grandma sending me off to school each morning. It’s one of those “little traditions” I like to keep with my family.
