Mmm Mmm Berry Smoothie
For this recipe you can use fresh or frozen berries. Do make sure you use a frozen banana that way you don't have to add ice.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Raspberries
- 1 frozon Banana
- 1/2 cup blueberries
- 1 cup filtered water (may add more if the mixture is too thick)
- 1/2 cup strawberries
- 1/2 cup peaches
- 1/2 cup pineapple
- Sprig of spearmint
- Agave nectar (optional–to sweeten)
- Sprinkling of cinnamon (or 1 teaspoon blended with other ingredients)
Instructions
- Place water in blender first followed by all the other ingredients. This helps to make sure the blender’s knives don’t get clogged by the solid ingredients.
- Blend at a high speed until all of contents are fully mixed and smooth
- Serve with a sprig of spearmint and sprinkled with cinnamon (cinnamon can help aid indigestion, gas, bloating, diarrhea, and upset stomachs.)
- Be sure to take a deep, powerful inhalation of the spearmint and release a full and complete exhale. Ahhhhh!
