What to do with a little bit of leftover frozen fruit?

I love to make Sangria, but the only problem is I always have a little bit of frozen fruit left over from it.  Yesterday morning I used it to make a smoothie for my children for breakfast.  It is so easy to do and really healthy.  Charlie, my 2 year old, loves them.  For some reason he calls them chocolate milk.  I know there are frozen smoothie mixes in the grocery store, but you don't have to buy those because you can easily make one at home.  The homemade one is better for you too.  What do you like to use in your smoothies?  I love apple juice, frozen strawberries and peach yogurt. Yum!


Breakfast (or anytime!) Smoothie

Ingredients:
1 Cup of Frozen Fruit
1 Cup Fruit Juice
1/2 Container of Single Serving Yogurt
1 1/2 TBSP Honey

Mix all ingredients in blender or Magic Bullet.  Blend until smooth and creamy.  If smoothie is too thick for you, add a little bit more juice, water or ice.  This makes enough smoothie for two adults.

Sherbert Jello

A little while ago I had a baby shower and served some punch. The punch was a hit, but I still have half a container of sherbert left. Tonight I decided to do something with it. My kids love Jello. It is a treat that is so easy to make, but I never do. I'm not sure why, something about the texture freaks me out. It's oooey and gooey and moves funny. But I decided I was going to make our sherbert into jello. Here's how I did it. Let me know what you think.


Sherbert Jello
Ingredients
1 Cup Sherbert (I used lemon lime)
2 cups juice (I used apple)
3 packs gelatin

Put the cup of sherbert into a square pan and let it melt. After it melts, sprinkle the gelatin over it. Let it sit for a minute or two. Boil the three cups of juice and then pour over the sherbert. mix until all the gelatin is disolved. Put in the fridge until jiggly.
