I find that ice in a drink dilutes the flavor and the flavor is not consistant
throughout the drink. In this recipe it says:
"For an even frostier drink to serve on a hot day, freeze the banana and
strawberries before adding them to the blender."
Can I eliminate the 3 cups of ice or some of the ice?
