Dole Summer Smoothies! {Giveaway}

I served up some summertime fun in the summertime sun last Saturday!

Dole asked if I wanted to have a Summer Smoothie party, and I said you betcha!

And I went trotting off to the store in search of Dole frozen fruit, and when I saw the Strawberries, Peaches, and Bananas, I knew that was it!

I was going to use a tropical smoothie recipe I found on Dole’s website, but then I looked at the back of the bag and the recipe there was so easy peasy that I was sold.

Into the blender we go – 2 cups frozen fruit, 2 cups juice. (I used pineapple.)

No ice necessary, because the fruit is frozen and cold already! Sweet!

I had to mix up the yum several times to serve the whole family, but it took me about 2 minutes per batch. So not a problem.

And voila! C’est magnifique!

The best part about my summer smoothie party is that it was at my brother’s house! Ha!

Buy It! I had a heck of a time finding a grocery store who carried Dole frozen fruit, but eventually I hit Wal-Mart and they had TONS of it, so there’s your secret stash store.

Win It! Five (5) lucky readers will each receive two coupons good for any Dole frozen fruit package.
