Tropical and Pumpkin (Yes, Pumpkin) Smoothie

Our family loves, loves, loves smoothies.  And, I've found them to be a great way to get not only some fruits but some veggies, as well.  Here's one that your whole family will like (just don't mention the pumpkin part, right?):

1 cup OJ
1/2 cup organic plain yogurt

2 handfuls frozen, cubed mango
2 handfuls frozen, cubed pinneapple
Optional: 
- 2 T elderberry concentrate (we've been taking this for an extra immune boost)
