The Trouble With Berries (And A Solution)
by carl on Jun.23, 2009, under Cooking, food, recipes
Here’s another one from the “home alone” department: I love fresh berries, in my cereal and elsewhere, and tend to want to buy a lot of them at once, for financial and convenience reasons. Alas, we find that these little devils tend to spoil relatively quickly, making their quick consumption a priority. Strawberries tend to be the worst, but all varieties are subject to this to some degree. To that end, here’s one way to dispose of a great many berries at once: a smoothie. Here’s one recipe for a nice one:
cup of blueberries
2 or 3 strawberries
1/2 cup raspberries
1/2 cup orange juice
some walnuts
couple of tablespoons each of oat and rye flakes
6 ounce cup of plain or vanilla yogurt (try to get the ones with the least sugar)
some ice cubes
(optional) banana, peanut butter, protein powder
Mix it all up in your blender and enjoy the taste of health and frugality.
