I took my little guy to a juice place the other day and one of their smoothies caught my eye. I love the flavor of passion fruit so I made note of what they put in one of their delicious sounding smoothies. And then I came home and tried to recreate it. It’s pretty close. But more importantly the kids loved the strawberry banana passion fruit smoothie.

I wouldn’t say that this is the healthiest smoothie out there considering it uses rainbow sherbet and I’m certain the passion fruit juice is laden with sugar. Whoa, way to sell it, Sharon. I know, I know. But it does have fresh fruit and non-fat yogurt in it. Hopefully that creates some sort of health-ish balance. And rainbow sherbet reminds me of my grandma so I just wanted to buy some.

Add it all together. I love these individual sized containers from my Ninja. Is it just me or do you make a huge mess when you make smoothies in a large blender? It seems like everything goes really well until I try to pour it in to glasses. And without fail, something makes the smoothie shift and I end up with smoothie all over my counter.

My kids go through smoothie loving phases. We are entering one right now. I try to keep frozen fruit on hand so that I can always make one for them even if I haven’t been to the store recently.
