You can make granitas or fruit smoothies. Here’s an easy granita recipe. You could also put things like strawberries, blueberries, and yogurt together in a blender to make a smoothie. Good luck.
Pineapple Granita
1 Cup Pineapple, Chopped
1/4 Cup Orange Juice
1 1/2 Cups Ice
Puree pineapple and orange juice in a blender. Add ice and blend until smooth. Use immediately or store in the freezer. For later use, remove from freezer and let thaw until soft enough to break up with a fork. Serves one.
