1 Cup Orange Juice
1/2 Mango (peeled and deseeded)
4-5 ice cubes

Directions:

Blend pineapple, OJ and mango until smooth. Add ice cubes and pulse blend until smooth.
Top with a streak of strawberry puree and handful blackberries for garnish.

Single hole punch the top, bend, and thread through your straw. Insert straw into your smoothie.
Serve immediately! Store in fridge. How fun is this Lando Calrissian Smoothie while watching Solo: A Star Wars story? Perfect kids drink for family movie night or a birthday party, I love the vibrant yellow – Lando’s signature color in the movie!
