Totally YUM Tropical Smoothie

Last week I was in target and I saw this coconut milk along with a couple varieties of almond milk. I bought some to try mainly for Ren. She is almost one year and all my kids react to cow's milk (they start to get sick a ton and have ear infections). I used soy for the other three but let's be honest soy makes their poop smell so bad...Anyway I got this and an Almond, both are delicious. As a side note notice the cool cup in the picture below. We got these plastic cups for our wedding December 1998. One of our favorite wedding gifts. We love them they are perfect for fun drinks and they have held up over the years. Brandi Barnard gave them to us!
Totally Yum Tropic Smoothie
1 cup coconut milk
1/3 cup carrot juice
1-2 tablespoon orange juice concentrate
6 pineapple chunks
1 cup frozen mango chunks
3-4 ice cubes
1 tsp. vanilla
Look and see how this milk stacks up to cow's milk...I am a believer. It is so good my other kids were just drinking it straight (Faryn hates milk and never drinks it but she loves this stuff). Oh and by the way I am not advertising for this company I just think it is good and want to share :-)
