Berry Banana Smoothie

#9: Berry Banana Ahhh

I was at the grocery last Wednesday to buy some cheese and then lo and behold I saw the fruit section and I just totally like went like a kitty on Red Bull at the yummy selections and my imagination just went wild. I put the usual suspects in my cart - bananas, apples, and mangoes, and since they're pretty much cheaper and in season, some yummy strawberries. I saw a box of blueberries and thought to myself, why not?  They were kinda expensive at Php330 for a box, but hey, it's good for the body too!

Having my fruit raw means it's all rich in all the nutrients and enzymes you need but if you're like me who isn't a fan of eating them as it is, I just blended them up in a smoothie, over here. I love blueberries but I like them in pie and muffins, which are cooked, so here's an awesome way to incorporate these lovelies raw - I made a smoothie! Its yummy, tarty-sweet, a bit creamy, and purple pretty!

Berry Banana Smoothie for One

Ingredients

• a ripe and sweet banana - a pole dancer's staple. it's not too heavy and it gives you energy. plus it's rich in potassium to avoid those cramps
• a few blueberries, 10 pcs would do. Get the really mushy ones at the bottom. 
• a couple of ripe strawberries.
• half a cup of really cold soy milk, to get things goingto taste: honey, cinnamon, and speculoos cookie butter (the cookie butter is optional. If you're still on the waitlist, your smoothie would live).

Procedure.

• Dunk all the fruits and milk in your blender. Blend.
• Taste. if it's fine, then pour in your glass and serve. if not, there's honey, cinnamon, and cookie butter to adjust your smoothie to your desired taste. Blend to get it all nice and pretty. Your smoothie's gonna look purple.

I might have to tell you though, my smoothie recipes are quite thick. For me personally, I really wanna enjoy the fruit all its pure goodness. The liquid, in this case, which is my soymilk is added just to get things better moving. I once made a smoothie without liquid and the result was just like fruity muck. The milk helps it move better. I use half a cup, but if you want your smoothie thinner, you may use more. It's up to you. Again, I'm not using ice here, as I don't want to dilute the awesome flavor. I just use chilly berries and milk to get it all cold and refreshing.

These smoothies are really fresh and best consumed right up after they're made. I like smoothies for breakfast or lunch or some lunch in place of ice cream.
