Taste of the Islands

Several fruits (banana, mango, papaya and pineapple) are blended with frozen vanilla yogurt & orange juice into a smoothie with a tropical touch.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup frozen vanilla yogurt
• 1 banana, peeled and frozen in chunks
• 1 cup cubed ripe mango
• 1 cup cubed ripe papaya
• 8 ounces (1 cup) orange juice (frozen until slushy)
• 1 cup chopped fresh pineapple
• 1/2 cup ice cubes
• Coconut shavings
• Pressurized whipped cream in a can

Directions:

Place all ingredients except coconut shavings and whipped cream into blender; blend on low for 1 minute then on high for 1 minute. Pour into glasses. Top smoothie with desired amount of whipped cream and coconut. Garnish rim of glass with a piece of fresh pineapple.

Number of Servings: 2

Notes from the Cook: Place orange juice into freezer prior to making smoothie until it forms a slush. I prefer to use no-pulp orange juice.
