I couldn’t help but pick up a bunch of delicious looking blackberries this week at the grocery store and we’ve been eating them like candy.
And making yummy blackberry smoothies with them. Did I mention they’re green smoothies. Yep the kind that are really good for you. I know, there’s no evidence of anything green in there, which might just convince your kids to try them. I can’t get Owen to touch vegetables but he’ll chug a cup of this.
And clearly, so will I.
Blackberries happen to be among the highest of antioxidant-rich foods, full of fiber, contain a plethera of Vitamins, and give you all kinds of other health benefits. Blended up with a banana, a bunch of spinach, some ice and water, you get a healthy little treat for you and your family, great breakfast smoothie, or post-workout snack.

I make something similar every morning for breakfast, however instead of the cold water I use vanilla almond milk and I also add some flax seed for additional health benefits. Always a delicious drink to get you ready for your day.
Yum! I’m so making this tomorrow. I make a smoothie for my girls and I all the time and love new ideas for them.
Yum! That’s great that your little one likes them so much.
This looks so good! I love blackberries but I’ve never had them in a smoothie before. I can’t wait to try this. Thanks!
Sounds yummy! I have to buy some spinach and then I’ll make it!
Beautiful! I need to get some blackberries!

used this in my nutribullet because I didn’t see any blackberry recipe in the book. But this is a great recipe! i added a little flaxseed too.
