Frozen Friday: Dole - Smoothie Shakers

Dole Smoothie Shakers are meant to be a convenient solution to smoothie-making for when you don't have access to a blender. Each container comes with pieces of fruit and tiny balls of yogurt that you'll need to add juice to before you can shake it up for a quick smoothie.

I tried the strawberry banana flavor as well as the wild berry. They retail for $2.19 each (may vary) for a 4-oz canister. I received these courtesy of Dole though.

Unfortunately, you won't be able to get your Surge fix at any supermarket; a limited supply of the drink is exclusively available in 12-packs of 16-oz cans from Amazon.com (also, it's currently sold out).
