Spiced Apple Blackberry Smoothie
Today's smoothie creation I'm calling spiced apple blackberry. It's not a very good name since I'm omitting ingredients in the title, but I guess I can call it whatever I want to.
I added a cup of frozen blackberries, a cup of frozen blueberries, a cup of vanilla yogurt, a cup of sparkling lime water, a package of spiced apple cider mix, 2 tbsp of flax seed oil and 2 cups of ice. It's really similar to a smoothie I made a couple of weeks ago except for the addition of the blackberries, which are fantastic. The only difference is it makes it a bit "seedy" which you don't tend to get with the blueberries alone. One fruit that I have to go light on, or skip altogether (despite my love for them) is raspberries. Raspberries have an inordinate amount of seeds, and makes the smoothie extremely grainy and you have to chew it, practically. The fruit that is best if you want to avoid seed are frozen peaches and blueberries, and strawberries are a bit better than raspberries because the seeds are smaller, and less tough.
I highly recommend using blueberries if you make your own smoothies because they have wonderful health benefits.
