“Lime or Shrek” Sorbet Ice Cream

·         ½ to 1 Cup – 100% Juice (we use Welch’s – Passion Fruit, White Grape / Peach or Pineapple / Orange) – Passion fruit works best

·         ¼ Banana

·         1 Slice pineapple

·         Handful fresh spinach

·         1 wedge fresh lime

·         3 Cups Ice

Turn machine on 1 turn to 10 then to high speed. Push ingredients into blade with tamper until machine “catches” (low grinding sound) all materials. Blend until smooth (4 “pillows” should appear on top) Should take no more than 30 seconds.

Other all natural juices can be used instead of Welch’s – Use your imagination!

Welch’s has 2 types of frozen juice. 1) Yellow Cap (This is the preferred type as the sugar used is all natural fruit sugars) 2) White Cap (This is not preferred as the sugar used is High Fructose Corn Syrup)
