Teo's Punch

Adults should eat 1 1/2 to 2 cups of fruit each day, according to the FDA. Each 8-ounce glass of this easy-to-make drink takes care of about half of that, in a most delicious manner. Add some rum to the mix for an excellent outdoor party sipper.

Banana-Berry Smoothie

Squeezing the juice out of fruit also removes beneficial fiber, but using the whole fruit, as in this smoothie, avoids that problem. Thanks to calcium-fortified orange juice, yogurt, and powdered milk, it also provides nearly a third of your daily calcium. And it's sweet and delicious to boot.

Try these to add a Florida Keys flavor to any get-together. Not only do they taste great, studies also show that drinking pomegranate juice may help lower total cholesterol and systolic blood pressure.
