Ingredients

  • 1 medium banana (ripe, about 4 ounces), peeled and cut crosswise into 8 pieces
  • 3 1/2 cups berries (about 16 ounces)
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 cup white cranberry juice or apple juice
  • Pinch table salt
  • 3-6 teaspoons granulated sugar
  • 2-3 teaspoons lemon juice
  • 3 ice cubes (about 1 1/2 ounces total)

Directions

  1. Line rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper; arrange banana and berries in single layer on baking sheet. Freeze fruit until very cold, but not frozen, about 10 minutes. In blender, puree cold fruit, milk, juice, salt, 1 tablespoon sugar, 1 teaspoon lemon juice, and ice until uniformly smooth, 10 to 15 seconds. Taste for sugar and lemon; if desired, add more sugar or lemon and blend until combined, about 2 seconds longer. Serve immediately.
