Hands holding blueberry latte.

This wild blueberry smoothie latte is guaranteed to warm you up.

Baby it's cold outside! Get out the warm wool sweaters, favorite fleece lined boots and the blender. Blender? Yes, I said blender because we are making smoothies. Believe it or not winter is one of the most popular times of the year for smoothie making because it fits right in with those healthy new year resolutions. Smoothies are the easy way to pack more nutrition into your diet.

Now let's talk about wild blueberries.

Blueberry latte with wild blueberries.

Wild blueberries are little purple powerhouses of nutrition. Grown in barrens across Maine and Canada wild blueberries are quite different from those that are planted or cultivated.  Wild blueberries have grown naturally under harsh conditions for 10,000 years, so they have adapted with more than 2x the antioxidants and fiber of cultivated blueberries. Frozen at harvest to lock in the goodness studies show that they may help prevent the onset of cancer, heart disease, alzheimer's and diabetes.  With a well balanced sweet-tart flavor just about everything pairs well with these super fruits in a smoothie.

What is a smoothie

Webster's dictionary defines a smoothie as "a creamy beverage made of fruit blended with juice, milk, or yogurt." Much to my delight it doesn't seem like I am breaking any smoothie rules by going warm instead of cold. It's freezing outside here in Pennsylvania and I can use all the antioxidants I can get to boost my immune system. Fighting off a cold or the flu? I have a smoothie for you!

Blueberry latte with spilled milk.

And yes, I really did accidentally spill all that froth all over the counter.

With its warm revitalizing chai tea spices this wildest blueberry smoothie latte will certainly cure your winter blues. Let me know if you try it.

      I found the mugs at a local consignment shop for $3.60 for 4 of them. They are vintage nescafe coffee. In the bottom of each mug is embossed " Taste your Way Nescafe". Made this for Caitlin yesterday and she loved it. She is my hand model.

        My favorite is blueberry soup, without exception. When I was a kid in Finland and Canada I would have Blueberry soup- ◔‿◔ -warm not hot. You never let the soup boil (or scorch). Mom's rule. You can buy online dry blueberry soup ....northern Scandinavian blueberries. A real treat!

    This is a really great idea; some of my favorite flavors. I'm definitely trying this one out. And, like everyone else who commented, I love those mugs! Who wouldn't want to stare at a map of the world and daydream while they're drinking their morning smoothie? 🙂
