Fruit Smoothies

Credit: Lori Frost

Ingredients:
  • 1 cup orange juice
  • 1/2 cup frozen fruit of choice
  • 3 scoops sherbet (orange or raspberry are delicious)
Directions:
Pour juice into blender. Add frozen fruit; then scoop sherbet on top. Blend thoroughly until desired consistency (add more orange juice or water to thin; add more sherbet or fruit to thicken).

Flavor Ideas:
  1. For a smoothie with a "kick," try: orange juice, orange sherbet, blueberries, pineapple, and peaches.
  2. For a "smoother" smoothie, try: orange juice, raspberry sherbet, bananas, and strawberries.
  3. For another taste, try substituting apple juice for orange juice and use frozen vanilla yogurt instead of sherbet. Ex: apple juice, frozen vanilla yogurt, and pineapple -- along with 2 Tbsp. coconut milk -- makes a great pina colada smoothie. Or, apple juice, frozen strawberry yogurt, strawberries, and bananas makes a great strawberry banana smoothie.
Healthy Idea: Just replace sherbet with your flavor of yoplait light yogurt. This changes the texture just a bit, but it still has a delicious flavor! 3 ingredients: yogurt, frozen fruit, and orange juice. It's as easy as that!
