Jamba Juice Copycat: Strawberry Surf Rider (Strawberry Tsunami)

My favorite Jamba Juice smoothie is the Strawberry Surf Rider, formerly known as the Strawberry Tsunami. It is sweet and tart and creamy and wonderful! I had trouble getting my smoothie as tart as Jamba Juice's so after everything was blended together, I spiked it with a little bit of lime juice to kick it up a notch!

To make this delicious smooth you will need:

• 1/4 cup FROZEN PEACHES (about 3 slices)
• 1/2 cup FROZEN STRAWBERRIES (about 5-6 berries)
• 1/2 to 3/4 cup LEMONADE
• 1/4 cup LIME SHERBET
• 1/2 cup ICE (about 6-8 cubes)
• LIME JUICE, to taste

Start off by measuring out your ingredients... or just eye ball it! It's kind of difficult to measure frozen fruit in a 1/4 cup measuring cup. Below you can see my attempt measure how much I was using....

Throw ALL of the ingredients into a blender. I started by only adding 1/2 cup of the lemonade, but then added an extra 1/4 cup to get it to the consistency I wanted. Just keep adding thing until it tastes good!

Blend until smooth! This is where I added some lime juice. I added about 2-3 tsp, but if you like it the way it is, then skip the lime juice!

Once you are happy with the consistency and flavor, serve it up in a glass with a straw! I ended up with about a glass and a half of smoothie. That was probably about 3 cups or 24 oz. of smoothie...

Hippie Juice

I found this cocktail on Pinterest where I find most of my yummy recipes. It is fruity and sweet and will knock your socks off if you aren't careful! With all of the flavors you can barely taste the alcohol so make sure you are with friends you trust!

First off you need a SIMPLY ORANGE CONTAINER (the Great Value version will work too! Really, you just need a container that holds 59 fl. oz. or 1.85 qt.) A FUNNEL would also be useful. Into the container pour:

• 4 scoops of COUNTRY TIME PINK LEMONADE (2/3 cup)
• 1 cup of WATERMELON VODKA
• 1/3 cup of MALIBU COCONUT RUM
• 1/3 cup of TRIPLE SEC

Once you have added all of the above ingredients fill the rest of the bottle with COLD WATER, shake, and enjoy!

You can garnish the cocktails with STRAWBERRIES if you are feeling extra ambitious!
