Berries & Cream Tie Dye Fruit Smoothie Recipe

Berries offer the most antioxidants than most fruits and summer is a prime time to indulge in these. This healthy fruit smoothie is perfect for breakfast, a snack, or if you just want a drink to help you cool off while eating barbeque on the 4th of July. The berries are sweet but a bit tart yet they nicely contrast with the sweetness of the cream. It’s the perfect balance of flavors.

This delicious ice cold fruit smoothie is perfect for anytime of the year, not just summer.

To get the silky smooth cool cup of goodness, I used my Nutri Ninja Blender Duo with Auto IQ. The power and speed alone surpasses all my old blenders. If you own a Nutri Ninja, make sure you select the Ultra Blend button with blending.
