When it comes to truly tasty gourmet desserts, one drinkable option is the tangerine smoothie. You can substitute pina colada frozen yogurt for the yogurt in this recipe, or a combination of 1/4 cup vanilla yogurt and 1/2 cup of coconut and/or tropical fruit sorbet.

If you use frozen yogurt, you might want to omit the sugar, depending on how sweet you like your smoothies.

Ingredients:

3/4 cup crushed ice
3/4 cup pina colada yogurt
1 cup orange-tangerine juice
1/2 cup non-fat milk
1 tablespoon sugar

Directions:

Place ice in a blender. Add the remaining ingredients and blend until smooth.
