After a long, cold winter, it finally feels like spring! Both sunny and rainy days are frequent, some of my favorite fruits and veggies are in season, and a light jacket is all I need to comfortably spend time outside. What gets me the most are the gorgeous flowers that are in bloom all around me. From large trees covered in tiny white buds, to vibrant tulips blooming from the ground, their natural and simple beauty never fails to amaze me.
It is around this time of year that I start to crave more refreshing foods, such as smoothies! The following is one of my simplest recipes, but it packs a ton of flavor. Not to mention, a lovely deep, yet vibrant, color from the berries! You can easily multiply the recipe to serve your friends (it’s too delicious not to share!), or modify any ingredients you desire to! Either way, I guarantee that you will savor every sip! You know what they say, simplicity is bliss.
- 1 1/2 cups mixed frozen berries*
- 1 cup water (or milk of choice)
- 1 tbsp flax or chia seeds
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tbsp maple syrup, optional for sweetness
- Combine all ingredients in a high-speed blender. Blend on high until smooth, and serve!
- *I used equal amounts of organic raspberries, wild blueberries, and strawberries. Feel free to use any combination you love, and find your bliss!
Beautiful spring smoothie, and so easy to make! This is my first time visiting your blog and I love it!
Thanks so much, Kara! I just visited your blog as well and it is beautiful!
