WATERMELON WAVELENGTH

This is a fabulously refreshing drink. The sorbet base makes it less filling than the yogurt-based smoothies. Have it in the morning with the kids, then reserve some for cocktail hour with a shot of vodka.

1 1/2 cups diced seeded watermelon
3/4 cup lemon sorbet
8 ice cubes
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Pinch of salt

Place all the ingredients in a blender. Blend until smooth.

1 cup fresh raspberries, frozen
