These are just awesome! I love to make them up and freeze them for breakfast or a quick snack. For kid-sized servings, use 5-oz cups and fill them with 1/2 c. of the fruit mixture (yield 24 1/2-cup servings). For a larger serving, freeze in 9-oz cups (yield 12 1-cup servings). If using the larger cup, you need to remove them about 15 minutes before serving. FYI, in my freezer I timed the 9-oz cup and it took 1 hour for it to be slushy and 2 hours to be completely frozen. Dont worry if you taste it before freezing and the mixture is a little bit tart, the flavors mellow after freezing. Great for once-a-month cooking. Enjoy!

Time 2h15m

Yield 12 9-oz cups, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 (10 ounce) packages frozen sliced strawberries (in sugar)
1 (12 ounce) can frozen orange juice concentrate, thawed
2 (20 ounce) cans crushed pineapple (used crushed for best overall texture)
1 (15 ounce) can mandarin oranges
1/3 cup lemon juice (bottled is fine)
6 bananas, sliced in coins

Steps:

  • Without draining any of the fruit, combine all ingredients in a large bowl. Mix well.
  • Spoon by the cupful into 9 oz. cups and freeze until firm. (Package in plastic airtight bags or cover with plastic wrap for long-term storage).
  • Remove from freezer about 15 minutes prior to serving. I like to serve them when they are slushy but still frozen.
