it fun and enjoyable! Teach your family to make these simple fruit
drinks in place of milkshakes and other higher calorie choices.

raspberries, blueberries, pineapple, etc.)
1 cup Unsweetened
100% juice of choice, diluted or concentrate
1/2 cup Non Dairy
Yogurt, any flavor (optional)
1/2 cup Soymilk
powder, plain or vanilla
2 T Honey or
frozen orange juice concentrate
Directions
Spread fresh fruit out on a pan in small pieces before freezing.
Combine liquid ingredients in a blender. Add frozen chunks of fruit
and process until smooth and of the thickness desired. Serve
immediately.

according to your preference of thickness.
