Watermelon Sherbet Smoothies


Now that the dog days of summer are here, I thought I"d share one of my favorite summer drinks – Watermelon Sherbet Smoothies! This refreshing drink is the perfect treat to beat the heat, and best of all – you can whip one up in a few minutes and enjoy!

Ingredients:

1 Cup Seedless Watermelon
1 Cup Crushed Ice
1 Cup Raspberry or Watermelon Sherbet (I use Raspberry)
1 Teaspoon Lime Juice
1 Teaspoon Miniature Semisweet Chocolate Chips (optional)

Instructions:

1. Combine the Watermelon, Ice, Sherbet, and Lime Juice in a blender.

2. Process for 30 seconds or until smooth. Stir if necessary.

3. Pour into chilled glasses and serve immediately!

Presentation Tip:

If desired, before serving the drinks, sprinkle the tops with chocolate chips to resemble watermelon seeds!

    I would definitely make this. It sounds like it would cool you right through to the bones. In my neck of the woods, that is a wonderful thing!!

    Added bonus is that it's pink, and anything pink just has to taste delicious. It's a rule.

    Found you on Foodie Friday.
