Instructions

Critical Control Point (CCP): No bare-hand contact with ready-to-eat food.

  1. In a 5-gallon bucket, combine half of the yogurt, half of the fresh bananas, all of the frozen blueberries and half of the ice cubes. Blend the mixture using an immersion blender until pureed and smooth.
  2. In another 5-gallon bucket, combine the remaining half of the yogurt, the remaining half of the fresh bananas, all of the frozen strawberries and the remaining half of the ice cubes. Blend the mixture using an immersion blender until pureed and smooth.
  3. Pour 4 ounces of the blueberry smoothie into 9-ounce cups, filling about halfway. Then pour 4 ounces of the strawberry smoothie on top. This will result in an 8-ounce smoothie. The strawberry layer will initially sink into the blueberry layer but will eventually fill the rest of the cup. Optionally, add swirls using a knife or straw for a fun presentation.

    Note: A 5-gallon bucket can hold 56 servings.

  4. Top each smoothie with 2 tablespoons of whipped cream. If dome lids are available, draw unicorn eyes and a horn using a black permanent marker before placing them on top of the smoothie.

    CCP: Hold and serve at 41°F or below.

    CCP: No bare-hand contact with ready-to-eat food.
