Pink Sherbet Smoothie

What you see is what you get…this smoothie tastes like pink sherbet! I love finding new ingredients and experimenting. After I blended this concoction and tasted it I was blown away with how much it tasted like sherbet to me and it took me right back to my childhood. My husband’s face said it all too! It’s absolutely delicious and highly recommended of course.
