Pine-Straw-Banana Smoothie

3 cups freshly squeezed orange juice
2 cups fresh pineapple chunks 1-inch
2 cups fresh strawberries
2 cups banana chunks 2-inch
2 to 3 packages Equal brand sweetener, Splenda or
other - optional

Place fruit on baking sheets, cover with plastic wrap, and freeze until
solid, apx 1 hr. This can be done well in advance. (I like to have frozen
fruit on hand in freezer bags. After the fruit has frozen you can put it
in a freezer bag or plastic covered container. The fruit has to be frozen
in separate pieces on a baking sheet before you put it into a container or
it will stick together in a big lump. Place juice, fruit and sweetener if
using in blender or food processor and process until smooth (If fruit is
too hard to process, allow it to soften for 1 or 2 minutes before
continuing.) Best if served immediately but can be covered and chilled for
up to 60 minutes before serving.

Yield: 3-4 Servings
