Caribbean Fruit Shake

This delicious drink is great for kids who are lactose intolerant because it tastes very creamy but does not contain milk. Although optional, Grenadine syrup (available in the soft drink section of supermarkets) turns the shake a wonderful pink.

Ingredients

 * 1 banana, ripe
 * 1/2 cup pineapple juice
 * 1/2 cup orange juice
 * 1 tbsp Grenadine syrup, optional

Peel banana and break into pieces. Place in blender or food processor. Pour in pineapple juice, orange juice and Grenadine syrup (if using). Blend until smooth, about 30 seconds.
