Braces Friendly Recipe: Week 27

Happy Tuesday everyone! We hope you all are finding a way to stay cool with the triple digit temperatures out there. This week we are bringing you two new recipes that are great for those soft food days for when you first get your braces on, or after a major adjustment. 

Recipe #1
Key Lime Banana Smoothie

It's smooth sailing with tropical beverages for two. Being ready in 10 minutes makes them that much better.

1 container (6 ounces) Yoplait® Original 99% Fat Free
    Key lime pie yogurt
1 ripe banana, sliced
1/2 cup milk
1 tablespoon lime juice
1/4 teaspoon dry lemon lime-flavored soft drink mix
    (from 0.13-ounce package)
1 cup vanilla frozen yogurt

Place all ingredients except frozen yogurt in blender. Cover; blend on high speed until smooth.

Add frozen yogurt. Cover; blend until smooth.

For the best banana flavor, choose bananas that have flecks of brown on the skin. Bananas that are too green will not be as sweet or flavorful.

Decorate the rim of each glass with a fresh slice of lime.

Recipe #2
Coconut Pineapple Gelatin Dessert

This gorgeous Coconut Pineapple Gelatin Dessert is really simple to make and packed with fresh flavors. Garnish with pineapple chunks and shredded coconut.

1 (20 ounce) can pineapple chunks in juice, chunks cut in half and
    juice reserved

1 (14 ounces) can NESTLÉ LA LECHERA 50% Less Sugar Sweetened

3/4 cup cold water
1 cup flaked coconut, divided

SPRINKLE gelatin over water in small, microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 30 seconds or until dissolved. Add dissolved gelatin to La Lechera mixture; mix well. Add pineapple chunks (reserve 1 tablespoon for garnish) and 3/4 cup coconut; mix well. Pour mixture into large serving bowl. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set.
