This dairy-free sunset smoothie reminds me of a Polynesian-style drink, like a Mai Tai. It’s infused with that delicious combination of orange, lime and grenadine. But unlike cocktails, it’s alcohol-free and made creamy with the additions of mango and dairy-free ice cream. You can sip on it as a sweet reward at the end of a warm day.
This recipe was shared with us by Pacific Foods back in 2006. But I’ve updated it with my own photos and some modifications to the recipe.

This is like a creamier, fruitier version of a Mai Tai. I like to use frozen mango instead of canned for a cooler, frostier treat.
