For each recipe, place all ingredients in a blender. Cover tightly and pulse until ingredients are blended and ice is chopped. Purée until smooth. Taste and adjust flavors, adding more fruit and honey for sweetness and more liquid if the mixture is too thick. Pour into glasses and serve immediately. Store any leftovers in a covered container in the fridge for up to 24 hours.
