Berry Good Smoothie - The Gluten Free Homestead

Today, I’m switching things up a bit by adding berries to this smoothie. I call it berry good smoothie because it’s superfood healthy.

You may have tried one of my green smoothies: my healing green smoothie and radiant skin smoothie with chia seeds.

Read on to find out why I sometimes love to add berries.

Is a berry smoothie healthy?

My berry good smoothie is loaded with antioxidants. Add a teaspoon of spirulina which is rich in protein and it can help boost your immune system.

Not only is it packed with antioxidants, but it tastes delicious.

And it couldn’t be any easier to make.

How to make it

Just place all ingredients into your super blender container. First your berries and an apple. Then spirulina, then water and ice. Secure the top and give it a whirl.

Pro tips and recipe notes

  • Today, I have fresh berries. You can also go with frozen if you like a thicker drink.
  • I always recommend organic produce whenever possible.

I hope you enjoy this refreshing smoothie today. I’m also thinking it would be amazing frozen as a berry pop in the summertime!
