I have never really been a fruit eater. It's not my style. But last summer, at the peak of blueberry season I froze a bunch to use throughout winter. Well, it's March and I never made that mid-winter blueberry betty I was talking about and I figured I should probably use up these berries before it's blueberry season again (I have hoarding tendecies, I know).
In the interest of health and gluten-free breakfast alternatives, I have decided to explore the smoothie.
I also don't eat bananas. They literally make me gag. I can't do it. But, I discovered that a frozen banana in a smoothie is definitely palatable! I wasn't sure how it would go so I bought a single banana for this experiment. I also bought some containers of greek yogurt to use as well.
BANANA BERRY SMOOTHIE
1 frozen banana
1/2 cup frozen blueberries
1/2 cup frozen blackberries
1/2 cup frozen raspberries
1 Tbsp flax seeds
1 Tbsp vanilla agave
The berry proportions are approximate. Combine it all in a blender and enjoy!
YOGURT BERRY SMOOTHIE
1 small container greek yogurt (I used a vanilla flavored yogurt because that's all they had that day at the co-op, in general I'm not really a big vanilla fan)
1/2 cup frozen blueberries
1/2 cup frozen blackberries
1/2 cup frozen raspberries
1 Tbsp flax seeds
Water to thin

Maybe you have inspired me to use my frozen blueberries from last year too! Only time will tell, but smoothies for the weekend sound great!
