1 oz (2 T.) honeydew melon
1 oz (2 T.) kiwi
1 oz (2 T.) apple slices
2 oz (1/4 cup) Tillamook Vanilla Bean Yogurt
2 oz (1/4 cup) Beet juice
2 oz (1/4 cup) orange juice
1 oz (2 T.) skim milk
1 tsp. honey

Dice all the fruit into small pieces. Put the fruit in the blender, then add Tillamook Vanilla Bean Yogurt, beet juice, orange juice, skim milk, and honey. Mix until consistency is smooth. For a sweeter taste, add more honey and blend again.

1 can orange juice concentrate, slightly thawed
1 cup milk (half and half, cream, nut milk, soy milk, vegan milk, etc.)
1/2 cup granulated sugar, or to taste (you can reduce the sugar or use an alternate sugar substitute such as stevia but it won’t taste as close to classic Orange Push-Ups. Many people use much more than 1/2 cup, myself included. I used about 1 cup in my version)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups ice, or to taste
1 to 2 ounces of Rum, Malibu, Vodka, Citron, Marshmallow Vodka, Gran Marnier or similar, per smoothie portion, or to taste, optional

Combine all ingredients, except ice and optional alcohol, in a large blender or Vita-Mix and blend until smooth and creamy, taking care the sugar has dissolved and is well incorporated. Keep blending until it dissolves. If desired, add a splash more water or milk. Add the ice and blend until smooth. Serve immediately.
