This smooth is a thick and satisfying treat that can easily be a cool summer lunch. It’s best if all ingredients (except the ginger) is chilled prior to use. You can also use a grapefruit in place of the orange but I find that a bit tart for my personal taste.

MAKES: 2 servings

INGREDIENTS:

• 1/2 cup white grape juice
• 1 lg orange, peeled, seeded and chopped (use 2 if small)
• 1 pineapple (1/4 wedge, peeled and chopped)
• 1 banana, peeled, chopped and frozen
• 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger

DIRECTIONS:

1. Prepare all fruit.

2. In blender, combine grape juice, orange, pineapple, banana and ginger. Process until smooth (it will be thick).
