I am not officially starting the blog until October (I need time to prepare!) but I thought I would give you the recipe for my favorite smoothie right now.
Jill's Favorite Smoothie
4-5 frozen blackberries
10 frozen blueberries
3 ice cubes
1 Tbs. flaxseed
1/4 cup orange juice (this is a guesstimate, I never actually measure)
1/4 cup milk and/or yogurt (also a guesstimate)
4-5 large fresh strawberries or frozen strawberries, thawed (leave them frozen if you like your smoothie really thick)
1 banana
I blend everything but the banana first (you have to or the banana won't fit), make sure the ice cubes are pretty much gone and then blend in the banana. This will be fairly liquidy (is that a word?!?!) because that is how I like my smoothies, but use frozen strawberries if you like yours thick! Now, obviously you can add or omit anything but this is the blend that I find tasty and I still get extra health benefits from - extra antioxidents from the blackberries and blueberries and omega-3's from the flaxseed (2 things I have been trying, unsuccessfully, to add to my diet - until now!). In the words of Rachael Ray and my 2 year old son, "Delish!"
