Wild Blueberry Smoothie

This recipe for wild blueberry smoothie is featured inTwinkl's World Food Day and the Problem with Water.

Sticking to a New Year's resolution to eat healthy is simpler than you think. Start with one powerful habit: choose real food over processed alternatives.

Just look around your kitchen. You likely already have an assortment of fresh or frozen produce ready for a quick pulse in the blender. The beauty of a smoothie lies in its total customization; you can tailor every sip to your exact taste.

Currently, I'm experimenting with wild blueberries. Whether you sip them through a straw or enjoy a thick smoothie bowl loaded with toppings, wild blueberries offer a delicious shortcut to a healthier lifestyle.

Forget the charcoal, blue-green algae, or Peruvian maca powder; modern food trends are trying too hard. Some even suggest "adaptogens" like ashwagandha, if that's even a real word. I'll pass. Instead of chasing skeptical trends, I'm sticking to real food: wild blueberries.

Wild Blueberries vs Cultivated

Don't confuse wild blueberries with the standard cultivated variety. These berries grow naturally in the fields of Maine and Canada rather than being planted by farmers. Though smaller, they pack twice the antioxidants and a far more intense, sweet-tart flavor. Because harvesters individually quick-freeze (IQF) them at the peak of freshness, you can find these nutrient-dense powerhouses in your grocer's freezer aisle all year round.

Back to easy! Open your fridge, check your pantry and grab some wild blueberries from the freezer. You will have everything you need to put together a super food delicious and jam-packed naturally nutritious smoothie like this chai tea latte. Not to mention you will save a ton of money not buying supplements created in some laboratory.  This A-B-C (apple, basil, Cinnamon) wild blueberry smoothie came together in a few minutes with what I had on hand today in my kitchen. Notice the subtle changing layers of flavors as you sip down to the delicious last drop. Your belly says, "thank you"! Pair this with a stuffed French toast or ricotta waffle and your heart may explode with joy.
