(who worked at Hogi Yogi in High School..."let's just say I know a thing or two about smoothies!")

In blender combine:
1 cup frozen strawberries
1 cup frozen peach slices
1 banana
1 cup pineapple juice
2 cups ice
Enough Orange Juice to fill the remaining space in blender
(hint:I use Crystal Light Orange to lessen calories)

Blend ingredients until mixed well. Serve through a straw!
