Best summer drink I've had yet. Didn't care for the chocolate chips at all... didn't quite go well with the strawberry. We used raspberry sorbet (closet thing that the store had) and it turned out amazing! Can't wait to make it again.

Served this to both kids and adults on a 100 degree day. We all really enjoyed it. Surprisingly fresh and light.

This was very refreshing and my Husband and I loved it! Good for an after dinner summer snack. It doesn't take long to whip up either.

MINE GOT ALL WATERY AND I HAD TO REFREEZE IT. ALL 3 TEENAGERS GAVE THE SMOOTHIE A THUMBS DOWN, BUT THEY LOVED THE CHOCALATE CHIPS.

I made these last weekend using lemon sorbet. They are so refreshing and a great way to use up a lot of watermelon.
