Pina Colada

Thu, 04 Oct 2001 16:59:13 -0400

I found this in a cookbook by BBQ guru Bobby Flay. This is a fantastic pina Colada recipe. It is easy and comparable to any Pina Colada I've ever tasted. Leave out the rum and serve it to the kids as a slush. This is how we drink it. -- posted by Dawn

Mango Kiwi Strawberry Smoothie

Sat, 27 Jul 2002 00:31:10 -0400

I'm sure this one has been done before, but I came up with it independent of a cookbook. It's delicious! If you want it to be thicker, try adding less pineapple juice. If you want a less sweet version, omit the strawberry sorbet and replace it with nonfat frozen yogurt! -- posted by ChipotleChick

Guava - Mango Licuado (smoothie)

Thu, 17 Mar 2005 16:03:49 -0500

A licuado is a Latin American smoothie. Actually, I suspect that a smoothie is a North-of-Mexico licuado. This is refreshing on a hot day. It is also good with pineapple instead of mango. -- posted by Nose

Dessert Mango Smoothie

Thu, 02 Nov 2006 16:29:43 -0500

Boracay Bliss

Tue, 22 May 2007 17:41:24 -0400

Aother "Blissful" blend from the Paradise Mango Rum liqueur insert. Like Mango? Try any of the recipes these guys offer up!!Paradise Mango Rum liqueur is slightly different from your traditional mango rum as this has the appearance of mango nectar - I might suggest adding some if you aren't using or can't find Paradise Mango Rum Liqueur in your area yet. It is only recently being imported to the States and somewhat limited in other parts of the world (from the Phillipines). -- posted by Mommy Diva

Tue, 19 May 2009 01:44:22 -0400

From my DD's Children's World Cookbook & Posted for ZWT-5. A very healthy, slushy fruit drink that can also be served as a dessert. Although coconut in fresh, dried or liquid form, is an important ingredient in Caribbean Cooking, this recipe does not depend on it if there is an allergy or personal preference not to use it. Enjoy! -- posted by **Tinkerbell**

Tropical Smoothies

Fri, 22 May 2009 02:13:40 -0400

This is such a yummy smoothie recipe. Ina Garten, The Barefoot Contessa, created these. You can play around with different fruits but I really love the tropical spin on these smoothies. Note: When mangos and papayas are ripe, they will actually smell ripe and will be soft to the touch. -- posted by LifeIsGood

I got this recipe from another sweet older woman. I make this in the morning for breakfast and it fills you up so well that you can skip lunch! You will need a blender. I have chosen to use all organic ingredients, but it is not neccessary. -- posted by Belburgess

Tropical Twister Smoothies

Mon, 13 Jul 2009 15:11:13 -0400

A great tasting family breakfast smoothie that is also good for you; add the rum for an adult version, if you like. You can sub strawberries for the mango and papaya to make strawberry pineapple banana smoothies. Yum..... -- posted by BecR
