Whip up your choice of two clones for the top-selling smoothies from one of America favorite full-service burger joints. Included in this recipe are secret formulas for the seasonal Chillin Mango Smoothie, and the always popular Groovy Smoothie.
Chillin' Mango Smoothie

This drink is offered as a special limited-time-only summer refresher. The chain uses a special mango mix made by Torani, the same company that makes those flavoring syrups often found in coffee shops. But since this special ingredient can be hard to come by we'll substitute canned mango, which is usually found chilled in jars near the produce.

3/4 cup canned mango slices, with juice
3/4 ounce grenadine
1/4 cup orange juice
1 cup ice

Garnish
orange wedge
maraschino cherry


Groovy Smoothie

The strawberries used for this drink come in a small box in the freezer section. These berries work great because when thawed they wind up swimming in juicy sweet syrup. The restaurant adds to the drink a special blend of apple, raspberry and blackberry juices called "groovy mix," but we can still create an excellent clone by using a blend of apple and berry juices made by Langer's. If you can't find that brand, use any berry juice blend you can get your hands on.

1/3 cup frozen sweetened sliced strawberries, thawed
1/2 ripe banana
1/3 cup Langer's berry juice (a blend of berry and apple juices)
1/4 cup Kern's Peach Nectar
1/2 cup ice
1/2 cup vanilla ice cream 

Garnish
orange wedge
maraschino cherry
1. Combine all ingredients for smoothie of your choice in a blender on high speed and mix until smooth.

2. Pour into a 12-ounce glass then add an orange slice and maraschino cherry speared on a toothpick. Serve with a straw. 

Makes one drink.
