Deep Purple Smoothietude
So I just entered the “Show Me Your Smoothietude Contest” over at Kathy Patalsky’s Happy Healthy Life blog… how fun! The whole idea is to show off your ‘tude in a photo with your favorite smoothie. I chose this Deep Purple Smoothie because I love blueberries and grapes AND the color purple 🙂
Not many ingredients in this nutrient-rich smoothie… here you go.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups frozen black grapes (seedless and organic)
- 2 cups frozen blueberries
- 4 large kale leaves
- 1 ½ cups coconut water
- 2 TBS flax meal
Directions:
- Blend and serve!
Makes 2 large smoothies. Enjoy!

What beautiful photos, Helen, and a beautiful smoothie too! You really shine through. Love the shot of the cat sneaking greens! Good luck with the contest. From one "deep purple" food fan to another. 🙂

I really need to try grapes in a smoothie, it sounds so refreshing! Also: love the sprig of Astilbe in your pocket – one of my favorite flowers 🙂
