Berry Breeze Smoothie:

This smoothie is super easy to make and perfect on a hot day. It's also loaded with antioxidants. But I don't need to tell you all of that because this has tons of berries in it, and who doesn't love berries? I sure do, especially in the summer (which is almost here, by the way).

Ingredients:

2/3 cup frozen mixed berries (I used strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries)

1/2 cup spinach (optional)

4 ice cubes

1/2 cup grape juice or freshly-squeezed orange juice

1/2 cup water

1 tbsp. ground flax (optional)

A few drops of lemon juice

Makes 2 smoothies.

Total Cook Time: 5 minutes.

Instructions:

Blend all of the ingredients together, add more water or juice as necessary to achieve the desired consistency.

Juice Review: Odwalla Superfoods and Smoothies

I was sick over the past few days, so I haven't been cooking anything blog-worthy. I did make this really spicy soup that made me feel a thousand times better, but other than that, I haven't really had much of an appetite.

As a result, I picked up these Odwalla Fruit Smoothies so that I could at least get some nutrients in me. The green one is the company's "Original Superfood, " which blends a bunch of super foods with spirulina,  and the orange smoothie is "Mango Tango," which has mangoes, bananas, apples, and oranges in it.  They are both delicious and 100% vegan. They're fruity and sweet (and delectable). I like to drink them for breakfast and for snacks during the day. They're good for times when you don't have the ingredients or the time to make a green smoothie, but still want to reap the benefits of one.

Whether you're looking for an immune system boost or just some energy to get you through the rest of the day, you should definitely try Odwalla products. Look for them in grocery stores, pharmacies, and health food stores. Your can usually find them at gas stations and quick marts too. I found these ones at Walgreens while I was stocking up on medicine and Vitamin C.
