This smoothie recipe is a total keeper! Much of making veggie and fruit smoothies is trial and error, figuring out what combinations of things work for you. As I’ve learned, what works for some, may not be so tasty for me. If you happen to love the berry family, including blackberries, blueberries, raspberries, and strawberries, then you will totally fall for this one! Based on my favorite fruit smoothie recipe from Chiquita Bananas, this smoothie has a fantastic combination of berries and banana, but with a few tweaks I boosted the nutritional content drastically without jeopardizing that perfectly sweet flavor. As you’ve probably learned from many of my smoothie recipes I love to add spinach, not only because it’s one of my favorite veggies and has numerous nutritional benefits, but also because it blends in with other ingredients perfectly! My Berry-Banana Flaxseed Smoothie was no exception, I not only added my traditional two cups of fresh spinach, but also used one of my favorite gluten free liquid bases, Dream Blends Unsweetend Rice and Quinoa, along with adding in two tablespoons of gluten free ground flaxseed! This smoothie is incredibly delicious and was gobbled up by myself and my little one in just a few short minutes!
