We make blueberry smoothies every morning to go with our oatmeal, or eggs, yogurt or whatever we make for breakfast.  The blueberries are refreshing and sweet and are a great way to start the day! We get frozen blueberries from Intervale Blueberry Farm out of Cherryfield, Maine through Rock-Op Coop. I hope next summer we’ll pick our own blueberries and freeze them.

Ingredients:

1 cup frozen blueberries
1 banana (preferably frozen)
1 heaping tablespoon raw almond or macademia nut butter
2.5 cups water
1 tablespoon flax seeds

The frozen fruit makes it nice and creamy. Of course add other fruit if you have some, or throw in a few leafs of greens like chard, or kale.  The blueberries mask the green color so your kids will never know  it’s there. (Don’t put too much or it gets brown.) I mix mine up in a vitamix blender which has a really high speed, but any blender will do. Enjoy!
