Did you make this up? This looks delicious.

Nope but I added plenty of my own fixens. It is a creamy and cool delight on a hot day for a dessert and looks good too.

Sounds wonderful! I will give it a try this summer. I love smoothies.
Thanks!

Bringing this one back for those of you who are new and missed this recipe and would love something cold and thick and soooo yummy on a hot day and its nutritious too.....

Chatty,
Can you leave off the orange juice and still taste as good? It's so loaded with sugar.

JJ, of course you can but there is only 1/2 cup juice used. One whole (fresh squeezed) orange has 15 grams of carbs and 60 calories. So using half thats only 7 1/2 of carbs and 30 calories and thats not a big deal or a diet breaker. Now to be extra safe just use a tablespoon of Crystal light (sugar free) orange flavored drink, flavor remains in tact, whalla, problem solved!!!

Has anyone tried this treat yet?

Hadn't even seen it. I will tell my daughter to try it, she loves to make smoothies. We have most of these ingredients in the house already, except for the grenadine.

An old stand-by in hot weather... I served this yesterday while out helping a neighbor get her garden in order. Took the ingredients with me and made a bunch for the several people there helping out as well. It was a hit, give it a try...
