Very good smoothie. I used Greek yogurt, peaches with heavy syrup, and frozen banana. Perfect for the two of us. -
Delicious! Will definitely make again! -
Made a half batch for DD using some two fruits and pineapple from the can with juice...she devoured it...Thanks for posting! -
This recipe deserves 5 stars just from giving me the idea of using canned fruit cocktail alone. I altered the recipe almost completely. I used low fat vanilla yogurt, OJ, and 1 cup frozen mango instead of banana. I also used Del Monte's mixed fruit in light syrup (which is more or less the same as canned fruit cocktail?). It produced the right amount of sweetness (anything in heavy syrup would be too much).

My son pronounced this "very good". It was easy to make, although you need to think ahead and get the fruit cocktail into the freezer. I froze it in a zipper bag, then just broke into chunks and put in the blender. Used strawberry yogurt instead of vanilla for extra fruity flavor.
