I've been feeling under the weather this week and was looking for a delicious way to get a Vitamin C fix without having to chug down one of those gross fizzy drinks. I ran across a berry smoothie recipe online yesterday and changed it up to fit my preferences - I didn't use milk or extra sweeteners.
I didn't realize that blueberries were so high in Vitamin C, Vitamin E and other healthy nutrients.
Ingredients:
~ 1 cup frozen blueberries
~ 1 cup frozen blackberries
~ 2 cups fat-free vanilla yogurt or soy milk
~ 3/4 cup organge juice
~ 1 cup ice
Optional:
~ 1 banana for thicker smoothies
~ 1 tbsp honey if you want a sweeter smoothie
Blend all ingredients.
This made enough for about 4 smoothies so I put some in to-go cups to take for K and I to take to work.
How do you get your Vitamin C fix?
I've been sick this week too and blame it on Jay for getting us all sick at the beach condo :-P
ReplyDeleteGreat recipe! I may resort to this tonight as I've been drinking those fizzy drinks with Airborne and they're helping but not anywhere near 100%
