ingredients
directions
- Allow your frozen fruit to only partially thaw. (Transferring the needed amount from the freezer to the fridge the night before works great.).
- Add pineapple, mango, banana, coconut, yogurt, orange juice, milk and honey to the blender, secure lid and blend on low or medium speed till everything is nice and smooth (should take no more than a minute).
- Stop the blender and add 2 cups of ice. Cover and blend till the ice has completley incorporated and everything is once again nice and smooth.
- Have a taste/consistency test and, if a thicker consistency is desired, repeat the process with 1/2 cup more ice at a time. If you get it too thick, just add a little more milk and/or orange juice.
- Pour into glasses (I like them thick, so I usually have to sort of spoon it in!), sip through a straw, with eyes closed while you imagine white sand and turquoise water -- .

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I grew up in rural east Texas and Louisiana before being transplanted to the beautiful state of Kentucky at the age of 17....so for the most part, my 'hard drive' is programmed for rich, southern style food. Recipes for things like mashed potatoes, cream gravy, pot roast, chicken fried steak and chili are burned in to my DNA!! ?I will never deny my love for rich, southern foods and I'm not a fan of stripping away all the fat and flavor in order to lighten up my favorite southern staples, however (fortunately) my culinary horizons expand beyond my roots and I love finding new foods and new ways of cooking that are just as delicious and in many cases much healthier. ?I do receive an incredible amount of joy from feeding others....a trait I definately attribute to my southern roots.
