Pineapple Strawberry Banana Smoothie
3 cups fresh orange juice or other fresh fruit juice that is
not made from a frozen concentrate 2 cups frozen pineapple
chunks (use fresh pineapple) 2 cups frozen strawberries
(fresh or whole frozen, non-sweetened berries) 2 cups frozen
banana chunks (2 medium bananas) 2 to 3 packages Equal brand
sweetener, Splenda or other - optional
Remove crown and bottom and slice rind off of pineapple,
quarter it lengthwise and remove core also slicing
lengthwise. Slice pineapple crosswise into quarter 1- inch
slices. Slice bananas into 2- inch chunks. If using fresh
strawberries, wash, core and pat dry. Place fruit on baking
sheets, cover with plastic wrap, and freeze until solid, 30
to 60 minutes. This can be done well in advance. (I like to
have frozen fruit on hand in freezer bags. After the fruit
has frozen you can put it in a freezer bad or plastic
covered container. The fruit has to be frozen in separate
pieces on a baking sheet before you put it into a container
or it will stick together in a mass.) Place juice, fruit and
sweetener if using in blender or food processor and process
until smooth (If fruit is too hard to process, allow it to
soften for 1 or 2 minutes before continuing.) Serve at once
or transfer or cover and chill for up to 60 minutes before
serving. Smoothies are best served immediate after blending.
Banana Pineapple And Mango Smoothie
3 cups fresh orange juice or other fresh fruit juice that is
not made from a frozen concentrate 2 cups frozen pineapple
chunks (use fresh pineapple) 2 cups frozen whole fresh or
frozen, non-sweetened mango chunks or slices 2 cups frozen
banana chunks (2 medium bananas) 3 to 6 packages Equal brand
sweetener, Splenda or other - optional
Cut fruit into chunks. Place fruit on baking sheets, cover
with plastic wrap, and freeze until solid, 30 to 60 minutes.

used; 0.5 to 1 gram total fat; saturated fat; 0 cholesterol;

Note: You can use any combination of frozen fruit and juice
you choose. The key is to use fresh juice not from
concentrate and frozen fresh fruit. Juices from
concentrates contain added sugars like corn syrup.
Frozen peaches, blackberries, blue berries,
raspberries, melons, etc. can all be used. You can
also use frozen fruits that you purchase from the
frozen foods section of the grocery store. These
products work just as well as fruits you buy fresh and
freeze your-self. You can use a combination of frozen
and fresh fruit. However, the smoothie will not be as
thick. Do not use canned fruit.
Jamba Juice smoothies also contain ice and low fat frozen
yogurt or sherbet as well as other optional additives.
