Mandarin Strawberry Smoothie

Working lunch duty at school the other day, I was reminded again how much kids like canned fruit, and many times choose it over fresh fruit. Mandarin Oranges were a fruit choice, along with bananas, apples, oranges and pears, and more then half the students chose mandarin oranges. This may be because of their sweetness, but I dont really care the reason, I know if that choice wasnt there, the students wouldnt eat any fruit at all. The mandarin oranges inspired me, so on the way home from lunch duty I stopped at my local convenience store and picked up a few cans of mandarin oranges, a few containers of strawberry yogurt and a gallon of vitamin D milk. Our afterschool snack today would be smoothies.
For less then 4 dollars made four 8 oz delicious, refreshing and healthy smmothies.
