It is better to use almost frozen fruit and you can substitute a frozen canned fruit drink that also can replace the use of ice to make the drink easier to blend and to mix. There are plenty of organic fruit juices that are canned as well as typical canned juices and you can also freeze your favorite fruit drink and use that partially melted. (hint: try large wine glasses (with straws) and top with your favorite fruit as garnish.)
