Blackberry Breakfast Smoothie
59
Any Berry Breakfast Smoothie.
I'm ashamed to admit that I have a big stack of paperwork sitting on my desk that needs to be done, yesterday. I hate paper work so I found a great job to do instead. Reorganize the fridge and freezer. To my great delight at the back of the top shelf I found a few more tubs of blackberries. Picked last summer, with my sidekicks (granddaughters). I had the best amazing crop of blackberries last year. Looking at them now, they are huge, big, round, juicy and so sweet. Yum.
As I haven't had breakfast yet, I thought one of my smoothies would sure hit the spot. And it did. So now I think I might want to share my recipe with you.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup frozen blackberries ( any berries can be substituted)
- 1 cup buttermilk (plain yogurt can be used which is a bit more tangy tasting so you might need a bit more honey for sweetening)
- 1 cup of orange juice (unsweetened)
- 1/4 to 1/2 cup honey ( depending on the sweetness of your berries and your taste)
- 2 tablespoons of sunflower seeds (dry roasted)
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Combine all ingredients in a blender and process until smooth. (if you want to drink your smoothie with a straw, other wise add the sunflowers at the end). Pour into two tall glasses (one for now and one for later). Enjoy.
Darn, that pile of papers is still sitting there. What can I come up with now, to do? Wash down the walls? Clean out the Garage,...which would take longer?...Hmmm

Thanks for taking a look LdsNana-AskMormon. I think the only way my paper work will ever get done on time is to hire someone to do it. On the other hand my fridge, freezer, & garage would still be a mess if I wouldn't have procrastinated.
regards Zsuzsy
So, where do go from here? lol

I'll probably will continue as always, complain and drag my butt quarterly, then when it's done I wonder what all the fuss was about, it really isn't that bad. I find it very disturbing, working to be able to pay all the bills, then spend more time working to figure out how much to give away in taxes. The burden we bear when we're self-employed.Big deep sigh...

I will definitely try, I love Blackberries. Sounds nice. Cheers.
Thanks for taking a look Cgull. Enjoy.

Don't worry Zsuzsy, I am the King lol;)

Yet another wonderful hub to go with the one I just wrote. I'm most definately linking this page in my hub when I find the time to... or perhaps I'll procrastinate... Just kidding.
Knowledge Sponge! (I love your name) Thanks for taking a look.

Zsuzsy - I love berry smoothies. I would probably use some soymilk and a banana instead of the buttermilk thought - but that's my preference. I bet the buttermilk makes it very creamy. My blender broke last night while making a smoothie - argh.
Stacie!I don't see anything wrong with soymilk as a replacement for the buttermilk. Did you know that if you have the soymilk almost to freezing cold it actually froth up really well? (as does skim milk) suks about your blender.
Thanks for taking a look. regards Zsuzsy
Sorry Decrescendo I somehow missed your comment. These smoothies are not a diet. They're just plain good treats for breakfast or just for fun.
