My Recipe:
I made a smoothie very similar to this, but added some of my own ideas.  For example, I used some fresh strawberries and blueberries.  If you are trying to make a smoothie, rather than sorbet, it is always a good idea to use some non-frozen items.  This way the smoothie won't be quite as thick.

I also did not measure out each individual serving and chose to put in as much as I felt necessary.  Since I was making it for 8 people, I put in more than the recipe called for since it would only expect to yield 3 cups.

This smoothie turned out deliciously and I would definitely make it again.  It is great for anyone who likes a lot of berries and you can always add more fruit than the recipe calls for.
