Peep, Peep.
The sunshine has brought more neighborhood strolls and hilly hikes. Keeping up with two kids and two dogs (often way ahead of me as I meander looking for early spring plants) usually leaves me craving something cool to drink. Yep, it's smoothie season!
Last week the kids and I pretended we were mad scientists and created a super yummy herbal smoothie that is a great immune booster as well. I don't know about you, but I always seem to get sick with changing seasons as my body adjusts to the new temps. Here's what we came up with:
Elderberry Blast Smoothie
1 cup Yogurt
1 cup frozen (or fresh) berry mix. Ours had blueberries, strawberries, and blackberries
1 banana
1/4 cup Elderberry Syrup or 1/2 cup dried Elderberries
1 dropperful Echinacea tincture
2 tspns Cinnamon Powder
-Mix together in a blender or food processor to desired consistency and you have a delicious immune boosting treat. Substitutions and experimentation with the recipe is strongly encouraged. :)
Happy Spring!
