Ingredients:

1/2 cup evaporated milk
1 cup peach yogurt
1/2 cup peach sorbet
1 cup peaches, frozen and cut into chunks
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

Directions:

1. Place the evaporated milk and yogurt in a Vita-Mix blender.
2. Blend enough to just combine the yogurt and evaporated milk.
3. Add the sorbet and peaches.
4. Now blend until smooth and creamy.
5. Use the cinnamon as a garnishment, sprinkling on top just before serving.

Note: If you do not like using cinnamon as a garnishment you can add it to the blender when you add the sorbet and peaches and blend well. If you are looking for something a little sweeter add the cinnamon to some sugar and you can use that to garnish before serving.

Add the milk.

Add the drops of extract.

This smoothie takes a little time to create but it's guaranteed to make kids smile. If you want to change things up try pineapple juice instead of orange juice. You could also use apples with vanilla yogurt and raspberry sherbet for a different treat. 

1 cup orange juice
1/2 cup milk
1 pint pineapple sherbet
2 (6 oz) cartons pina colada yogurt
2 bananas cut in chunks
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 cup whip topping, divided
2 drops red food coloring
*Black string licorice

Pour the orange juice and milk into a Vita-Mix blender. Carefully add the sherbet, yogurt and bananas. Add the vanilla extract. Blend until very smooth and pour into glasses.

Place 2/3 cup of the whipped topping into a plastic baggie. Cut one corner of the bag to make a small hole. Carefully create a small circle on top of the smoothie. Place the other 1/3 of the whip topping in another plastic bag. Add the food color and gently mix until the topping has turned slightly pink. Cut the corner of the bag and make the eyes, nose and the ears for the rabbit.

Cut the licorice strings to make the whiskers for each rabbit. Place the whiskers on the rabbit face upward toward the edge of the glass. Serve immediately. 

*Not a lot of kids like black licorice. Another option for making the whiskers is a toothpick with some black decorator gel on it as the whiskers.
