Wild blueberry frozen hot chocolate.

blueberry frozen hot chocolate

By posting this recipe for wild blueberry frozen hot chocolate I am entering a recipe contest sponsored by the Wild Blueberry Association of North America and I am eligible to win prizes associated with the contest. I was not compensated for my time.

What I enjoy most about recipe challenges are the memories they conjure up. That creative process of mixing something new and different comes from a place deep in the heart and brain. It usually hits about 3 am and reminds me that those I love and where I have been inspire my food.

Sand dollars conjure up memories of blueberry frozen hot chocolate.

From the time the kids were small we vacationed in Maine. In summer, we joined friends at Pine Point beach searching for and discovering sand dollars. The wild wonders of Mother Nature enticing the kids to dig deeper into the numbing cold ocean water always did my heart good. Then pre-Christmas shopping in Freeport, Maine enjoying a cozy fire at a quaint B&B and in spring and fall girlsโ€™ weekends to Ogunquit and guysโ€™ fishing trips to Rangeley, respectively. Suffice to say lots of wonderful family time was spent in the Pine Tree state.

If nothing else entering recipe contests brings some good food to the table. It's a reminder of just how blessed I have been with great memories. It's been a real pleasure creating this wild blueberry frozen hot chocolate for the #wildyoursmoothie recipe contest which could potentially bring me back to Maine to learn more about wild blueberries.

Wild Blueberry Facts

  • wild blueberries have been growing in Maine and Canada for about 10,000 year
  • wild blueberries have 2x the antioxidants of larger cultivated blueberries
  • part of a heart healthy diet wild blueberries may reduce the risk of Alzheimer's disease, diabetes and metabolic syndrome
  • wild blueberries have a well balanced sweet-tart flavor

In my latest inspired recipe wild blueberries and dark organic chocolate blend with coconut water to make a powerful antioxidant drink that will energize the day or replenish after a work-out. Freezing the coconut water into ice cubes is a bit of flavorful genius that allows that sweet-tart balance of the wild blueberries to shine through the richness of the chocolate. Share it with someone you love. Happy Valentine's Day.
