I don't have a photo of this recipe. We made three batches, with about 24 kids total. With each batch, the smoothies vanished before I could take a picture. I've never had a more-requested recipe! So here you go. I put together a few recipes from the web, and then we added our own CATS touches.
Ingredients
- 2 cups frozen pineapple chunks (We used Trader Joe’s)
- 1 cup Trader Joe’s Vanilla Coconut Beverage (in cartons next to the almond milk in dairy case)
- 2 bananas, peeled and cut in chunks (we used frozen bananas left over from last week’s Banana Dolphins)
- 2 tablespoons shredded toasted coconut, if desired
- 1/2 cup orange or pineapple juice
- 3/4 cup baby spinach, washed and loosely packed
- 1/2 cup mango sorbet (if desired)
- 6 frozen strawberries
- 1/2 cup plain yogurt (omit for dairy-free version)
Instructions
Whirl together in a blender until the pink/yellow/orange colors are swirled, or to desired consistency. Taste and adjust flavors. Top with more shredded toasted coconut if your kids like it.
More Information
We served these in glasses with a spoon.
