I learned the lesson about rock-hard this time, and was pondering the best way to avoid that. Now I have a new word, too ~ granita! I nearly made it and didn't even know what it was.

That combo of 'lope and peach sounds so hit-the-spot cooling. If you make more, try putting the leftovers in a shallow container for the freezer. After 60 - 90 minutes (you don't want it frozen rock hard), use a fork and scrape deeply along the top. Put it back and repeat and hour later. Refreeze. Voila. You have canteloupe granita! :) Sounds delish, shore! That combo of ‘lope and peach sounds so hit-the-spot cooling.

So, I adapted. I used the canteloupe and peach yogurt, with everything else the same. The smoothie was just wonderful. I tucked what was left over in the freezer for a bit, and it turned itself into a great substitute for those nights when I just have to have ice cream. I might even do that on purpose now and then! .-= shoreacres´s last blog ..<a href="http://shoreacres.wordpress.com/2009/08/13/julia-child-and-the-jeweled-elephant/" rel="nofollow">Julia Child and the Jeweled Elephant</a> =-.
