This is my favorite smoothie to make for me and the kids. They love it and so do I!! I have one of the greatest inventions ever made….a VitaMix blender. (Kinda sounds like a vite-meata-vege-min from my fav red head Lucy!) This smoothie maker is so cool, you don’t even have to lop the tops off of strawberries, you just throw them in there! That’s getting pretty healthy for me!!

One thing for sure……take the rind off of the oranges! Leave the white part (the pith), but remove the rind, that’s what you clean furniture with!!

You can see a Vita Mix here. They ROCK!!!

Pineapple Mango Orange Juice Smoothie

2 Oranges

1 Mango

½ Fresh Pineapple or 20 oz canned pineapple

Honey or another sweetener

Ice

Cut the peel off of the oranges (keep the white part on, it’s supposed to be good for you!). Cut them in half and put them in the blender. Peel the mango and cut it away from the pit. I use a mango pitter, it’s much easier!!

Peel the pineapple and slice off about half of it and put the mango and pineapple in the blender with the oranges. You can also use canned pineapple if you want. Add the ice to the top of blender and blend! If you like it thinner, add a little water. If you like it slushier, add some more ice! YUM!!

To sweeten up your smoothie add a little honey (or another sweetener) to taste. I like mine straight up!

P.S. This will make enough for the whole family! About 32-40 oz.
