Pineapple Mango Smoothie

I love smoothies!  My husband and my kids also love smoothies.  This one reminds of a virgin pina colata, and I've made it with and without 1-2 Tbsp shredded coconut.  It was good either way, but unless you have a really good blender, it does have a different texture with the coconut.  I think this would be really good with coconut milk instead of almond milk as well.

Ingredients
1 cup frozen diced pineapples and mangos (I got a big bag by Dole)
1 cup almond milk
1/2 cup vanilla yogurt (I like Dannon)
1 packet of splenda or Stevia

Directions
Put all ingredients in blender and blend until smooth.

Berry Green Smoothie

We love smoothies around here.  We really like them with peanut butter, but it really adds up in calories for me.  I love adding spinach to my smoothies because it so good for you, but you can't even taste it in a smoothie.  This one is packed full of nutrition and antioxidants, and it's not loaded with calories like many smoothies can be.

Ingredients
3/4 cup frozen sliced strawberries
1/4 cup frozen blueberries
1/2 cup vanilla low fat yogurt
1/2 cup almond milk (or you can use soy or cow's milk)
1 cup fresh spinach
1 packet of stevia or splenda

Directions
Add all ingredients to a blender and puree until smooth.

Avocado Milkshake

My friend Danila, who is from Brazil, introduced me to this drink, and it is highly addictive. Apparently this is how they drink it in Brazil, and it's also how the Filipinos drink it as well. I thought it sounded very odd when she told me about it, but I knew avocados are so healthy for you, so I wanted to try it. It was delicious! You may have to play around with the amounts according to your taste. She and I don't really measure so much, and avocados are different sizes. She uses the large pear shaped smooth green avocados, but you could use any kind of avocado according to your tastes.

Ingredients
1/2 medium or large avocado or 1 small avocado
3-4 Tbsp sugar (or you could use splenda or agave)
1 cup milk (I use 1%)
3 pieces of ice

Directions
Scrape out insides of avocado into blender. Discard skin and seed. If you are using only half, leave the other half in the skin and put into a ziplock bag in the fridge. Add sugar, milk, and ice to the blender. Blend on high until well blended. Modify according to taste.

Creamy Party Punch

I made this the other night for a baby shower I threw, and it was delicious! I got the recipe online after having it at someone else's house, but I added more vanilla ice cream than it called for. It's like having dessert in a cup. I forgot to take a picture of it when it was put together, so sorry about that.

Ingredients
2 large cans of pineapple juice
2 liter of lemon lime soda
1 pint rainbow sherbet
1 quart vanilla ice cream (it called for 1 pint, but I found it was better with more)

Directions
Scoop the sherbet and ice cream in your punch bowl. Pour the pineapple juice and soda over the ice cream and sherbet. Let sit for a few minutes to allow the ice cream and sherbet to melt a little before serving. I found I could only put about half of this in my punch bowl at a time, and I have a pretty big punch bowl.
