Berry breakfast smoothie!

Hello!

Lately I've been trying to eat healthier and excersise more often to get fit for summer (only 1 month to go!) so I've been making smoothies in the morning. It's surprisingly filling and it tastes so good! Berries are great sources of antioxidants which can improve your health, hair and skin, as well as preventing specific diseases.
So here's the recipe! 

Ingredients:
- a handful of frozen raspberries and blackberries
- a small bunch of frozen blueberries
- 5 or so fresh strawberries
- tropical juice 

Method:
1. First, wash your strawberries, take the leafy part off and halve them.
2. Next, throw your strawberries, blueberries and raspberries into a blender. 
(I got this small one for $39 at Target which is designed so you can drink it straight from the blending cup, so it't great!)

3. Then just fill up your blender with enough tropical juice that it covers three quarters of your berries - this gives a nice consistency that isn't too thick or thin.
4. Now just blend it up and your all g!



If the raspberries and blueberries that you're using aren't frozen, you can just add 1/2 cup to 1 cup of ice, depending on how you like your smoothies. 
Also, you can add any greens like kale, spinach etc, or bananas (I found that it really overpowered the berries when I added banana, so I took it out) or anything really, this recipe is very customisable so if you don't like something in this recipe, then you can easily switch it out with other fruits or vegetables. 




Hope this helped you!
Goodbye and goodluck!
