How to Make a Cherry Lemonade Smoothie

Smoothies are wonderful concoctions! Fruits and juices usually blended with either soy or dairy products are often both delicious and nutritious. I love fresh ripe cherries and lemonade in the summer and it occurred to me that these ingredients combined with some yogurt and Italian ice or sorbet might make an interesting smoothie. It did! Here's the recipe.

Difficulty: Easy

Things You'll Need:

• 12 ounces Lemonade
• 2 scoops Lemon or Cherry Italian Ice or Sorbet
• 1 cup fresh ripe cherries
• 1 cup lemon or vanilla yogurt

1. Wash 1 cup of fresh ripe cherries, then remove pits and chop. Place the cherries in the freezer for 1 hour
