Superfood Blueberry Smoothie
It’s a chilly morning here in the Smoky Mountains today but I couldn’t resist my usual morning smoothie! So much flavor and LOADED with nutrients… it’s really a great way to get some raw greens into your diet, too, if you’re not a big fan. I find some people don’t like the taste of kale (I love it, but maybe it’s an acquired taste). In this smoothie you can’t taste the greens, only the yummy fruits! It’s an easy fix and your body will thank you. This smoothie lasts me well into the early afternoon.
Remember to only used organic (or wild) berries as they are usually heavily sprayed with pesticides.
Healthy trails,
