It is berry season in the South Okanagan! We've already frozen our year's supply of strawberries and just picked up 60 lbs of organic blueberries at Warkentin Organic Farm in Abbotsford.
I love berries! I put them in muffins, loaves, muesli, oatmeal, pancakes, chia puddings and crumbles but most of them go in our morning smoothies! They are sweet and oh so nutritious!
This smoothie has become a regular around our house in the past couple of weeks....
Ingredients:
1 banana
1 orange
10 -12 strawberries
1 c mixed berries (blueberries, raspberries, blackberries)
1 c unsweetened nut milk (eg. almond, cashew, sesame, hemp), soy milk or brown rice milk
1-2 c packed dark leafy greens (kale, spinach, chard)
1 heaping T hemp seeds
1 heaping T sprouted chia /flax mix (or 1/2 T of each ground)
fresh water as needed
Directions:
Put the ingredients (except the water) in your vitamix (or powerful blender).
Turn on high for about a minute. Add enough water for a desired consistency. Blend again for a few seconds. Enjoy!
I store extra in a large canning jar in the fridge. Alternatively, I make popsicles!
