DOLE Frozen Smoothie Party

With my wedding around the corner I have been on crunch mode to get into my wedding dress. I have tried it all from eating right to exercising. I have alot fo wonderful friends and family around me who have been supporting me. Thanks to their support I am getting closer and closer to my goal. One of my favorite meals/snacks I love are smoothies. I never knew how good smoothies could be. One problem I had though was buying too much fruit and it going bad by the end of the week. Urghhh, waste of money, and I don't like wasting money. I tried frozen fruit. It works perfect. It doesn't go bad. It make my smoothies taste better. And there are so many varieties to choose from. Dole frozen fruit is great for smoothies. They have a variety from Blackberries, Blueberries, Dark Sweet Cherries, Mango, Pineapple Chunks, Raspberries, Sliced Peaches, Sliced Strawberries, Sliced Strawberries in Sugar Tub, Whole Strawberries, Wild Blueberries, Wildly Nutritious Mixed Berries, Wildly Nutritious Mixed Fruit, and Wildly Nutritious Tropical Fruit. My favorite is strawberries. This is how the package looks. It is located in the frozen food section. I was very excited to find out that Dole had picked me to be a Dole frozen Smoothie party host. I hosted a party and shared tips with friends and family. We made healthy smoothies and tried different recipes. Here is some of the information I shared with them:
