Island Chiller

Dietitian's tip: This tangy, refreshing drink is an excellent source of vitamin C and is also relatively low in calories. Using calcium-fortified orange juice adds 44 milligrams of calcium per serving.

Serves 16

Ingredients

2 packages (10 ounces each) frozen unsweetened strawberries
1 can (30 ounces) crushed pineapple with juice
3 cups orange juice
2 quarts carbonated water, chilled
16 fresh strawberries

Directions

1.      In a blender, combine the frozen strawberries, pineapple with juice and orange juice.

2.      Blend until smooth and frothy.

3.      Pour the strawberry mixture into ice cube trays and freeze.

4.      To serve, put 3 strawberry cubes into a tall glass and fill with 1/2 cup of the carbonated water.

5.      Wait until the mixture becomes slushy.

6.      Garnish with a strawberry and serve.
