Memorial Day kicks off summer and summer parties. Grilling and snacking are all too common this time of year with holidays, graduation parties, and summer vacation around the corner. Hopefully this weekend will provide some sun and much needed relief from the rain. A cool beverage made from mostly whole fruits can help getting into summer mode.
Tropical Smoothie
(milk free, egg-free, wheat-free, peanut-free, soy-free, nut-free)
2 bananas sliced
3/4 cup 100% pineapple juice
1 medium orange, peeled and sectioned

1/4 tsp. good vanilla extract
1. Combine all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth.
2. Serve in tall glasses with straw and slice of pineapple or maraschino cherry on top.
