Tips:
- Place the canned mandarin oranges into the cooler the day before production to get the temperature below 41°F. This will aid in maintaining temperature control during the production of the smoothie.
- If making large quantities of the smoothie, make it in batches and immediately place it into the cooler as soon as blended to keep the temperature below 41°F.
- Menu Planner: Pureed vegetables and fruits of any type, (fresh, frozen, or canned), when served in a smoothie, credit as juice.
