National Nutrition Month - Blackberry Smoothie Recipe!

To kick off National Nutrition Month, we're excited to bring you this week's nutritious recipe - the Blackberry Bliss Smoothie! 

Smoothies are perfect for fitting lots of nutrients into a delicious, easy treat. Blackberries are packed with Vitamin C and are high in fiber and manganese! Just one cup of blackberries contains half of your daily value of Vitamin C! This, coupled with the mood-boosting and potassium-rich benefits of the banana makes for a nutritious and delicious duo for your smoothie! Plus, it’s packed with protein and would make a filling breakfast or snack.

Blackberry Bliss Smoothie

Ingredients:

• ¼ cup blackberries
• 1 medium sized banana
• 2 tbsp almond butter
• 2 tbsp oats
• 4 ice cubes
• 1 cup almond milk
• ⅛ tsp almond extract (for a sweet nougat flavor)
• ½ tsp pure vanilla extract
• 1 tbsp sliced almonds
• ½ tbsp chia seeds

Directions:

1. Add the banana and berry smoothie ingredients to your blender. If the blackberries are frozen, add a little less almond milk to start because they have a little more liquid in them. You can always add more almond milk to make it creamier.
2. Pulse until smooth and creamy.
3. Pour into your favorite glass or travel cup, garnish with additional blackberries, sliced banana, and sliced almonds, if desired, and enjoy!
