Lately, stress and the wonky weather have us feeling a little off.
These berry smoothies are a great way to start the day!
I combine in a blender:
- Strawberries
- Blueberries (raspberries and blackberries are great too – or any kind of fruit you love!)
- half a Banana
- Greek yogurt
- Fruit Juice
- Flaxseed
I don’t really measure. A handle of this berry and another handful of that berry. A few scoops (not quite a whole cup, I don’t think) of the Greek yogurt. Another spoonful of flaxseed.
Isn’t that pretty? (You don’t even have to chop the greens off the strawberries, but my daughter insisted.)
Blend to desired consistency. Add a little water if it’s too thick. It won’t affect the taste at all.
Add essential oils for an extra oomph. I like cinnamon or citrus.
Serve in a glass with a stainless straw. Enjoy!
She was feeling great all day after her smoothie!

I am bookmarking this and am going to try it! Thanks for linking up with “Try a New Recipe Tuesday.” I hope you will be able to join us again this week. http://our4kiddos.blogspot.com/2014/04/try-new-recipe-tuesday-april-8.html
Why do you have to put this in a glass glass and use stainless steel straw? My blender is plastic too.
Oh, you don’t have to. We just prefer to limit our plastic use. Our blender has a glass pitcher. No worries about using plastic with this smoothie!
