Victoria’s Smoothie Recipes

Cranberry Cooler
10 oz. cranberry juice
2 oz. orange juice
3 scoops pineapple sherbet
8 strawberries
1/2 c. raspberries
1/3 of a banana (optional)
1 cup ice

Strawberry Banana
10 oz. apple juice
2 oz. orange juice
3 scoops frozen vanilla yogurt 8 strawberries
1 banana
1 cup ice

Ocean Sunrise
12 oz. Raspberry juice blend
3 scoops orange sherbet
8 strawberries
1/3 banana
1 cup ice

Orchard Oasis
12 oz. peach juice blend
3 scoops pineapple sherbet
8 strawberries
1/2 c blueberries
1/3 banana
1 cup ice

Orange Delight
1/2 can orange juice concentrate
8 strawberries
2+ c. milk
2 Tbsp. sugar (optional)
1 banana
8 ice cubes
(Or eliminate milk and use apple juice and one 8 oz. strawberry yogurt)

Mango Tango
1/2 can mango juice blend concentrate
3 scoops pineapple sherbet
1 mango
1 - 2 c. liquid (milk or water or one of each)
1 cup ice



Make your own creation by mixing any combination:

12 oz. juice + 3 scoops sherbet/yogurt or ice cream + fruit + 1 c. ice cubes

raspberry + orange, pineapple or lime sherbet + strawberries + ice
cranberry + vanilla frozen yogurt (fat free) + raspberries + ice
orange + vanilla ice cream + blueberries + ice
peach + 8 oz. yogurt + peaches + ice
apple + ________ + banana + ice

Note: Also, wrapping peeled broken bananas (halves or thirds) in foil then freezing is a good way to thicken and cool a smoothie without the ice (or less ice).

My personal favorite is about 5 frozen strawberries, milk with some sugar or vanilla ice cream (1 c. or so), and 1/2 frozen banana.

Old Orchard concentrates are good - Kiwi Strawberry, Apple Passion Mango, Cranberry Apple, etc.

If you find you want to use a juice that is not in concentrate form, you can freeze it in cube trays and not add ice (or less ice) to the recipe.
