christian's amazing smoothies

i will probably not do this recipe justice since christian is the one who makes them in our house! but we always keep a supply on hand of frozen strawberries and pineapples (or when you have fresh on hand that's even better!)

he puts fruit in (strawberries, pineapple, nectarine, peach, raspberries, whatever you want), a banana, a scoop of sherbet, one container of yogurt, some orange juice and i like to add *lime. mix it up and you have some pretty amazing smoothies. i like to think they are actually a healthy food!

*someone posted earlier about fun ice cubes, i like to do a slightly different version. i am constantly trying to cook with lime or lemon. it makes meals taste amazing, but you don't always have them on hand or they are rotten before you use them. i suggest buying about 4 lemons and 2 big limes. squeeze their juice out into an ice tray and freeze them up. when they are frozen i wrap them in saran wrap and then put them in a ziploc baggie... so you have lime or lemon juice whenever you need it! (even for smoothies)
