Preparation

Step 1

To celebrate Mardi Gras tomorrow, I thought I would make one of their famous drinks, the Hurricane, but in a healthy smoothie form.  Have you every had a Hurricane?  It is mighty delish!  It’s made with pineapple, orange juice, rum and grenadine syrup.  Yum, yum, yum!  I am sure you already have a pretty good idea what is in my smoothie and boy is a good one!

I thought I would dress up the smoothie by adding a little slice of orange and lime and of course a maraschino cherry! Love those cherries! I thought I would put an umbrella in the drink, but then I realized this is Mardi Gras, not Cinco de Mayo! You know whats funny? I like to dunk my cherries in my drink and let it sink to the bottom. Then when my drink is done I have a little cherry surprise left. I know crazy, huh? I am a tad odd.

Place all ingredients in a blender and process until smooth.
