SMOOTHIE SAILING
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Makes: 4 (6-ounce) servings

Ingredients:

• 1 banana
• 1 8-ounce can of pineapple (Crushed or sliced)
• 1 8-ounce carton of vanilla yogurt
• 1 cup of orange juice
• A few pieces of ice

Steps:

2. Once you get their "ok," ask your grown-up helper to open the can of pineapple while you peel the banana
3. Put the undrained pineapple, banana, yogurt and orange juice into the blender
4. Ask your grown-up helper to use the blender to mix everything together (try using high speed for about 30 seconds) until the mixture is smooth
5. Once that's done, add a few pieces of ice and blend until the substance is frosty
6. Pour into the drinking glasses. Use a spoon to get all of the smoothie out of the blender if needed. If you like, place an orange slice or a strawberry on the edge of each glass for decoration
7. Enjoy!
