Berry berry good - Breakfast Smoothie
So there I was standing in the kitchen on Monday night thinking about ARF friendly food for Tuesday when inspiration struck. If I am going to try to eat antioxidant-rich foods, I might as well get them in first thing in the morning.
Breakfasts usually involve pouring some cereal into a bowl. So it made a good change to have something that was made fresh, in my own kitchen, without feeling rushed. This refreshing smoothie is packed with three types of berries and makes a filling breakfast along with the usual staple of cereal or toast. To top it all, all two ingredients - blueberries and strawberries are among the top antioxidant-rich foods.
Of course the smoothie can be made with almost any fruit lying in your fridge but the berries lend a sweet-tart taste that positively kickstarts your day!
(serves 2)
1 cup strawberries, cleaned and hulled
1/4 cup blueberries
1/2 cup cold low fat milk (or your choice of milk/ yogurt)
1-2 mint leaves
Blend all ingredients till smooth. Garnish with mint and serve immediately.

That's a great healthy entry,Ashwini.
a great way to drink your berries :)
Parna, Sailu and Reshma - thanks! It is indeed very healthy. I like this ARF event bcoz until I started participating, I wasnt even thinking about whether I was eating any ARF rich foods!
I make this drink too! :) I have this three berry blend I bought from Sams, the other day. The only difference is I don't use mint in this drink. Your recipe makes me want to try it.
Infact, it's been days since I made this drink. thanks for reminding me. Off to make a nice cold smoothie for myself.
