• 12 ounces raspberries

Quick Tips

• Tip: Add Color Swap: You can vary this recipe by using blueberries and lime juice, mangos and pineapple juice, or strawberries and orange juice instead of the raspberries and lemon juice.
• Cooking Tip: If your blender is too small for the entire recipe, split the recipe into two batches, adding half the ingredients at a time.
