I got this recipe from a caterer at a work function.  It is so easy and tastes great.   (That’s why I asked for it).

1 large can pineapple juice

1 liter cherry seven up

Mix these together in a pitcher first and then pour the punch into large Ziploc freezer bags and put bags into the freezer long enough to let the punch get slushy.

• 2 pints cranberry juice
• 1 quart apple juice
• 10- 7-ounce bottles 7-Up
• 2 trays of 7-Up “ice” cubes 

Have regular hours for work and play; make each day both useful and pleasant, and prove that you understand the worth of time by employing it well. Then youth will be delightful, old age will bring few regrets, and life will become a beautiful success. –Louisa May Alcott

This was so good that I felt like I was having dessert.

This is what I used:

• 4 ripe bananas
• 1 scoop of Pure Protein Powder (I had some in the pantry so I thought I would add it)
• About a 1/4 cup smooth peanut butter
• Dash of 1% milk – about 1/8 cup
• About 5-6 cups of ice; I just kept adding ice to get a thicker smoothie

Directions:

I blended it all together and when it was nice and thick, I poured into a glass and ate it with a spoon.  I had some fruit, some protein and it tasted like a delicious ice cream shake!  I poured the leftovers into a freezable container and stuck in the freezer so I could have some for breakfast.
