* Review: These SmoothyPaks of frozen fruit are ingen-ious. They're healthy, easy to use and they capitalize on kids' love of smoothies -- those fruit shakes you see teen-agers slurping at the mall. We tried the Strawberry-Mango-Pineapple and the Raspberry-Peach-Papaya flavors. Add a banana, a cup each of milk and juice, along with some yogurt, and you've got a nutritious and tasty snack. Or breakfast shake. Or dessert. The possibilities -- there are three other combinations -- abound as long as you keep a couple of these fruit packs in the freezer. We found them at Fresh Fields in Mount Washington.
