In this world of candied ever’thangs, may I present: a delicious no-sugar-added blueberry strawberry smoothie.

It’s as good as it looks.

Frosty. Thick. Tasty. Filled with nutrition. Fun!

I’m not a fan of store-bought smoothies.

I want to know every detail of what I’m putting in my body.

Plus, if I’m going to drink my calories in smoothie form, I don’t want any extras, like sugar.

I’d rather save those calories for cake.

Glorious cake!

Life is all about choices, right?

I’m also not a fan of ingredients I can’t spell or recognize as actual food.

So, nope, you won’t find me in line to buy a smoothie.

(Full Disclosure: I throw out all these rules for milkshakes. I consider milkshakes liquid cake. Glorious cake!)

So, what’s a smoothie-loving gal to do?

Make my own, that’s what.

As I have declared before, I truly, dearly, whole-heartedly dislike ice in my smoothie.

I get enough quality H2o during the day.

I prefer using frozen fruit as my vehicle to a thick delicious shake-like smoothie.

Did you know frozen fruit/veggies retain nutrients better than fresh fruit?

DID YA?!

WebMD weighs in:

Nutritionally speaking, frozen veggies are similar to — and sometimes better than — fresh ones. This makes sense, considering that these veggies are usually flash-frozen (which suspends their “aging” and nutrient losses) immediately after being harvested. Frozen veggies were often picked in the peak of their season, too.

Learnin’, OMT-style! (it’s delicious AND interesting!)

If you took a peek into my freezer, you would find bags of frozen berries year-round.

My favorites are wild blueberries and strawberries.

Which of course, is why this delicious no-sugar-added blueberry strawberry smoothie exists!

You use what you have available, right?

This easy and deelish recipe requires three ingredients.

THREE!

That’s it!

A brilliantly colored smoothie that gives you four servings of fruit.

BAM!

Nutrition’d! (yep, not a word.)

You could share this between two people (and thereby get two servings of fruit each), but I typically have the entire thing for lunch, after a long run.

If you’re like me, you usually have berries in your freezer.

Instant yum, whenever you need a milkshake-esque dream.

No ice.

No schlepping to the store for fresh fruit.

No running to the smoothie joint.

Not only is it nutritious and delicious, but it will leave you feeling like you’re KING/QUEEN OF THE WORLD for getting so many important repairy/buildy things into your body in one meal.

Effortlessly.

Just keep it coming through that fun straw.

Pure smoothie brilliance, with no added sugar or chemicals you can’t pronounce.

The best part?

The kids will love it (most kidlets are suckers for blueberries and strawberries) and they don’t have to know about the adult things like vitamins and fiber and antioxidants.

No really, you don’t have to tell them.

I’m pretty sure if you did tell them, they’d squinch their noses at it and start begging for the leftover Easter candy you think you’ve hidden so well.

DON’T TELL THEM!

Happy smoothie making, my babies!

Delicious No-Sugar-Added Blueberry Strawberry Smoothie

Ingredients:

1 cup frozen strawberries

1 cup frozen blueberries

1 cup milk (any type – but I use whole milk)

Directions:

1: Place milk in blender.

2: Add frozen fruit.

3: Puree

4: Pour into tall glass, insert straw and watch for freezer brain!

Notes:

If your blender struggles with frozen fruit, you can add small bits at a time – or – thaw fruit for a few minutes before adding to blender.

I prefer wild blueberries because of their sweetness.

This recipe works well with any combination of fruits.
