One thing I like to do when making almost any recipe is to make extra. For this orange pineapple smoothie, the fam drank it immediately, but I took the extra and poured it into a glass container to freeze for a bit. Then “fork” it up a bit and you have a lovely after dinner treat. The consistency is really nice, too!
Pineapple orange smoothie recipe in comments. For frozen “sorbet,” I froze for about 20 minutes, forked it, froze a bit longer then served. Also great the second day. Just thaw it a bit until you can fluff it with a fork.
