Cuban Batido

Found this in one of those little grocery store magazines and it looks so yummy I want to save it here to try when those warm, lazy summer days arrive. The magazine states "A batido is a popular Latin American drink made with water, milk, fruit and ice. It is similar in testure to a smoothie and literally means "beaten" in Portuguese" Sound good to me. Update: After seeing Loof's wonderful picture I finally got around to making this myself and so glad I did. Love that tropical flavor.

I would give this more then 5 stars if I could! I tried tagging it for the Best of 2009 Tag Game but was too slow. Anyway, I made it as a treat after dinner for my pineapple loving son and myself...it was so wonderful. I cut the sugar in half as my pineapple was quite sweet. I will definitely make this again. Thanks for posting this very enjoyable recipe Bonnie G
