This refreshing fruity drink is a take off on the frappiccino family of sweet frozen fruit drinks that my granddaughters love so much. It is also a bit of a copy cat of a famous pineapple whip from one of the world's favourite amusement parks.
Here are the ingredients for making 4 servings of this delicious, cooling drink:
1 cup ice cubes
2 pineapples, peeled and cored (you can use the core too, if you have a Vitamix or Blendex)
1 organic lime, juiced
2 tablespoons raw honey or maple syrup (or sweetener of choice)
1 1/2 cups of coconut milk
Add all the above to the cannister of your Vitamix or Blendex blenders... other blenders may need to do this in a couple of batches.
Here is an assortment of summer smoothies from the SILK non-dairy milk company that look pretty delicious. They might be better suited to summer, but I think they are drinkable at any time of the year-- or that is my opinion.
Generally the Green Smoothies on here do not include non-dairy milks, just water as the liquid base, but once in while, why not? As long as you don't find the combo kind of heavy or affecting your digestion in combination with various fruits, etc., go for it!
Here is the perky video with "The Domestic Geek"<<subscribe. The ingredients list follows underneath the video below. You will have to figure out the actual amounts of each item yourself, but I am sure you can do that! HINT: Be conservative with the salt and other condiment ingredients, you can always add a little more after a taste-test, but putting in too much is pretty nigh impossible to undo.

The first smoothie-- SCARY FRUIT SMOOTHIE-- is made by a couple of charming children from Ireland. Their smoothie involves cranberry juice, banana and raspberres. The boy says that any fruit is possible but that raspberries make it look more like blood. I think your little goblins might enjoy making this. They float a couple of marshallow eyeballs in their drinks (optional)
The second smoothie for kids by kids is a very healthy smoothie made by one little witch. It uses diced pumpkin, mango (she calls it canteloupe but it says mango under the video), carrot juice, and banana. There appears to be a little container of honey that doesn't get used-- it is optional I guess. This smoothie really does look quite tasty. (If your kids don't like pumpkin, I'd suggest just going with the other ingredients, all orange).
The third video is another brother-sister team. They call this a "Smoothie Challenge-- Yummy or Gross". Your kids will likely want to do a similar challenge, particular where the 'surprise' factor is involved for grossness. This is a pretty creative venture but I am not sure I would want my kids to drink smoothies that include cheese and spaghetti, or what looked like chicklettes. Fun though!
