By MelanieAnn

Ingredients

• 1 8-ounce can pineapple chunks (juice pack)
• 1 large ripe mango
• 1 large ripe banana
• 1 8-ounce carton pineapple yogurt
• Fresh mint leaves or mango (optional)

Preparation

Step 1

Drain pineapple, reserving juice. Cover and chill the juice.

Peel mango and cut in half (cutting around seed). Remove seed; discard. Cut mango into chunks.

Peel and slice banana.

In a medium freezer-proof bowl combine pineapple, mango, and banana. Cover and freeze 2 hours or until firm.

At serving time, in blender container combine reserved pineapple juice, frozen fruit, and pineapple yogurt. Blend until smooth.

With blender running, add ice cubes, one at a time, through opening in lid. Add enough ice cubes to fruit mixture to equal a total fruit-ice measure of 4 cups.

Blend until smooth. Serve immediately. Garnish with fresh mint and cubed mango, if desired.
