Berries Smoothie – Day 3

Berries Smoothie

 

 

 

 

Your choice of berry for this treat! I used my all time favorites, blackberry, blueberry, strawberry and raspberry.

 

 

It’s no surprise my daughter has chosen a smoothie as a go-to snack. Her food choices very early on were healthy, simple, mostly raw, and always always fresh.

We always remember, too, the importance of an attractive dining experience to enhance every bite … or slurp. What do you think of this glass tumbler! It’s BPA free and dishwasher safe. Check out this product themasonbarcompany.com … sold on Etsy. We love new and unique products! Yes, the straw is glass!

Mr. French, Uncle Bill’s butler, is snow bound in Vermont with Uncle Bill’s niece and nephew, Buffy and Jody. And the only food they have is a chocolate candy bar. Yep, Mr. French makes hot chocolate with the candy bar and water.

I hope you will enjoy this richer version of hot chocolate.

If not into hot chocolate the tips on whipped cream may be new to you.
