Do you smoothie?

Everywhere I go, people are talking about the

benefits of smoothies.  Breakfast 

smoothies, detox smoothies, builder smoothies…

so now, I’ve jumped on the smoothie  bandwagon too with

the Wild Huckleberry Smoothie!

It’s a yummy & low cal, detox  smoothie,

packed with protein & antioxidants. It’s my breakfast and/or

snack time…’go to’ small meal in a glass.

AND the wild huckleberries  take me back to my childhood. We used to pick

and eat them by the handfuls! Plus, huckleberries are loaded  with

nutrients and only about 40 calories in 1/2 a cup!

 I get them in the frozen food section of

my local market. My little smoothie also calls for coconut water,

20 calories worth. Love coconut water for it’s detox qualities

and it is considered by some to be a superfood  in itself.

Speaking of superfoods…

 I add a handful of baby spinach leaves into the

mix…perhaps the biggest superfood big shot  of them all!

Already, I’ve hit the health food trifecta here!

But there is more…

Greek yogurt, gives this smoothie some

beautiful body,  at only 80 

calories and a drizzle of honey makes it extra yummy…

I like it sweet :) 

Whizz it all together and pour into a

pretty  little glass…

and you have

a gorgeous glass of goodness at under 170 calories.

Striped straw, silver patter and fun huckleberry pink napkin,

 

optional…
