It's time for a smoothie party with Dole! *Giveaway*

On Monday, the last official day of summer around here, we invited our best friends over for a little smoothie party featuring Dole frozen fruit. It was a little party to squeeze out the last minutes of freedom before our kids all started school the next day.

The 13 of us sat around sipping our smoothies made from frozen strawberries, pineapple, mangoes and a blend of a few different fruits. My husband manned the blender and everyone got to decide what they wanted in their smoothie. It was a nice way to cool off on a hot day and relax with friends.

I'm pretty excited because we have a little bit left and I'm planning to serve my family smoothies for a fun weekend breakfast in a few days.

Dole frozen fruits aren't just delicious, they're also good for you! They're naturally fat-free and are low-calorie. They're great for dieters and non-dieters alike because they're healthy and so refreshing and tasty.

If you're a smoothie lover or are looking to find a way to sneak more fruit into your diet you can check out the Dole website for smoothie recipes. Want to know a little more? Here is some information Dole provided to me:

Here are a couple pictures from the party. The adults didn't want their pictures taken (party poopers!) but the kids, at least the girls, were more than willing. :)

I received coupons for the frozen fruit and other party items from a representative for Dole in order to facilitate the party for review as well as the coupons for the giveaway. No monetary compensation was received. The opinion expressed is my own.
