My Favorite Summer Treat Other Than S'Mores

source

We bought a blender last month to make our own baby food from organic fruit from the farmer's market. While I still haven't made the first batch, we've been keeping it busy with fruit smoothies for ourselves! They are one of Brett's favorite things to whip up for us and other than maybe one failed experiment, they are all delicious and super healthy. Here's the jist of our favorite so you can make your own after you're done reading this post because you'll be craving one pretty badly. My apologies in advance if you're stuck without a way to the store and all you have in your fridge are eggs and some cream cheese.

Brett's Berry Tasty Smoothie Recipe
(the name is original, the recipe is probably not)

1 carton of raspberries
1 carton of blueberries
1/2 carton of strawberries
2 bananas
2 cups vanilla yogurt
1 cup frozen chocolate chips
1 dollop of honey
Ice to the top of the blender
(30 grams of protein powder optional)
(1 Tablespoon wheat germ optional)

serves four

Talk about antioxidants, right! Use local honey for help with allergies and any other supplements that you can sneak in to make you feel good. The frozen chocolate chips pair well with the berry taste and are a nice little surprise. NO IDEA about calories, protein, etc. but it's definitely a treat you can feel good about.

What are your favorite smoothie combinations?

xoxo,
Rachel
