Tasty Summer Smoothie Recipe

Summer is approaching and then it will be time for tasty summer smoothies again. If you have a Cusinart Smoothie Maker or as it name is a Cuisinart Cbt 700 you will love the following recipe.

Blue Sky Smoothie

What You Need:

  • 1/2 C orange juice
  • 1/2 C frozen blueberries
  • 1/2 C canned peaches, chopped
  • 1 (6 oz) container vanilla yogurt, frozen
  • 1 ice cream scoop orange sherbet
  • 2 TBSP honey
  • 1 C ice, crushed

How to Make It:

  1. Pour the orange juice into the blender.
  2. Add the blueberries, peaches, yogurt and sherbet.
  3. With a rubber spatula fold in the honey and ice.
  4. Cover blender and blend until smooth.
Personally I prefer not to use the ice. What I do is to chop up the fruit and freeze them. Then I use it in the smoothie instead of the ice.

This also tastes great with pineapple sherbet and pineapple juice. The honey gives it a slightly sweet taste so use unsweetened pineapple juice when making it this way.
