    Why would anyone have ice cream for breakfast? I would switch that for plain yogurt, or vanilla yogurt. Or this would be better suited for an after dinner snack. Has too many carbs and not enough protein for a breakfast food. - 1/30/08

    Is it guava juice or guavas in juice? There is no explanation for the guava part in the recipe. I agree w/krystalkat, too high in sugar. One can of guava juice has 48 grams! The "pick-me-up" comes from the sugar,and then comes the crash! BTW, this IS a delicious drink, it's just not a healthy one :) - 2/6/08

    This sounds wonderful, but the sugar content is way too high for anyone watching their carb and sugar intake. I do love guava juice though. - 1/31/08

  • Never had this, but it looks good. We had our guava tree in the back yard in Guyana & we used to pick the fruit to make drink, mix with lemon juice & passion fruit juice. It is a delicious blend. I will try this. Guava is a very sweet fruit, which can be eaten, they are two types white & pink inside - 3/3/11

  • I think they probably meant to say:
    Combine Guava, orange juice, and frozen yogurt in a blender on puree.
    instead of:
    Combine frozen yogurt, orange juice, and frozen yogurt in a blender on puree.
    Sounds very tasty, would be a great dessert maybe on a hot summery night. - 2/3/09

  • have not tried it but will definately make it. For those of you wondering what GUAVA is..It's a fruit that's you can get in the grocery stores during the summertime and you can also get the canned juice in the ETHNIC/INTERNATIONAL isle of the grocery store.. It's made by GOYA - 1/30/08
