Creamsicle Smoothie
This smoothie is protein-packed, refreshing and delicious. The perfect treat for a warm summer day. It can also go under the summer, snack-ons, and sweet treats section! Kid-friendly too!
Main ingredients
1 and 1/2 cups frozen mango chunks
1/2 cup low-fat milk
1 vanilla Greek yogurt
3/4 cup orange juice
Prepare the Smoothie
Place all the ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth.
Vanilla Blueberry Yo-Shake
Imagine sipping a heavenly drink down to the last drop—and not feeling guilty for a change! This is your dream blend of yogurt and fruit (plus a little ice cream!).
Main ingredients
3 cups Vanilla Ice Cream
1 and 1/2 cups milk
1/2 bag frozen blueberries
16 ounces Vanilla Yogurt
1 vanilla sugar
Prepare the Yogurt Shake
Add ice cream and milk to a blender, and pulse until smooth and creamy.
In a separate bowl, blend frozen blueberries, vanilla yogurt and vanilla sugar.
To Serve
Fill glass two-thirds of the way with vanilla blend, and add the blueberry blend until glass is full.
Tropical Mango Sorbet
What you can by in the store, just a whole lot cheaper and healthier. I had 2 really good sorbet recipes, which each had a downside, and morphed it into this refreshing recipe. Perfect for summer and all year round!
From Something Sweet
Ingredients
4 cups mangoes (see note)
1 cup sugar and
pinch of salt dissolved in
1 cup of water
2 tablespoons lime or lemon juice
Directions
In a medium saucepan, pour in 1 cup sugar, a pinch of salt and 1 cup of water.
Turn the fire to medium-high, and stir the mixture constantly until it looks like clear water (about a minute)
Coarsely chop 2 mangoes (I have only tried it with frozen, but this should work) or use 4 cups of frozen mangoes, thawed.
Pour mangoes, sugar water, and lime or lemon juice in a blender or a food processor fitted with the "S" blade
Turn into sorbet​
If you have an ice cream maker, then freeze following it's directions. If not:
Line a baking sheet with foil, spread the mango puree on baking sheet, put in freezer for about an hour (when its partially frozen)
Blend it until smooth, put it back on the baking sheet and freeze it
Repeat the processes of blending and freezing twice more for a total of 3 times.
Freeze in an airtight container until ready to serve
​
Notes:
You can replace 2 cups of mangoes for 2 cups of peaches (4 cups fruit total)
The process of making it without an ice cream maker is way easier than it sounds-I prepped the whole recipe, and started blending and freezing later in the day when I had time.
Add in whatever else you want! Try putting in strawberries, oranges, or apples and let us know how it turned out!

1 and 1/2 cups crushed ice
1/2 cup milk
1/8 teaspoon cinnamon (or a generous dash)

Place all ingredients into a blender. Blend on high speed for three to five minutes, or until ice is fully processed. (I used the smoothie setting.) If you like your mix sweeter, add more maple syrup to taste.
