Jack O' Lantern Smoothie
Submitted by: Michelle Y.
Serve these smoothies with a green straw to resemble a pumpkin stem or garnish with a mint leaf.
Ingredients:
1 tablespoon semisweet chocolate chips
4 large clear plastic cups
3 six ounce containers of orange cream or harvest peach yogurt
1/4 cup frozen orange juice concentrate, thawed
1 eleven ounce can of mandarin orange segments, chilled & drained
1 banana, sliced
Directions:
Melt the chocolate chips in small microwavable bowl on High for 1 minute, or until all the chips are completely melted.
Spread the chocolate on the inside of each plastic cup with the tip of a knife
to resemble the eyes, nose, and mouth of a Jack O’ Lantern. Repeat
for 3 more cups. It works best if you place the cup on its side
when painting the face.
Refrigerate for 5 minutes or until the chocolate is set.
Place all the remaining ingredients in a blender while the chocolate is setting, cover, and blend until smooth.
Pour the mixture into into the chocolate painted cups and serve.
