How many times have you bought fresh fruits … only to have them go bad before you got around to using them?
Frozen fruits picked at the height of ripeness and then flash frozen. They are a better option in smoothies than fresh (IMO). Even if you forget about them or leave town for a few weeks, they’ll be in the freezer ready for you. No mushy, bruised, sad or moldy fruits. Plus they give your smoothie the slushy consistency that makes them so much more like a treat!
This smoothie uses frozen berries. I like to also use frozen bananas, but fresh is fine and will give the Berry Delicious Smoothie a little more creaminess. Adding a spoon of cacao powder gives the Berry Delicious Smoothie a little depth but it’s not a requirement.
Blend it. Snap it. Tag this Berry Delicious Smoothie with @happyeatshealthy on IG.
Happy sipping,
