Caribbean Smoothie

This smoothie takes me back all the way to my good ol’ Boys & Girls Club days, when I used to help run the after school program at my local middle school. We made smoothies every Friday for the kiddos with the huge frozen fruit bag from Costco. They loved it, especially on the hot days. It was a wonderful afternoon snack that we all looked forward to.

At the middle school, we only made it with fruit and orange juice, but I added some yogurt in there since I had it available. The creamier, the better!

Isn’t the color of the smoothie just eye capturing? It’s definitely jamba juice worthy.

In other news, I’ve been baking up a storm trying to empty my pantry. We move in less than two weeks and I need to use up all of the items that I can’t bring with me. The heavy stuff is also a no-go. That includes canned items (evaporated milk, condensed milk, soups, broths), all of my cheese, molasses, cake mixes, buttermilk powder, my many pounds of flour and sugar, etc.

I’m loving every second of it.
