One of the recipes I picked up at our Saturday Market from the Oregon Farm Direct Nutrition Program: Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) is for a Tropical Blueberry Smoothie provided by the Dole Food Company. As we are now in the fresh blueberry season, I decided that making smoothies would be a great dessert after dinner.
The recipe is very easy:
1 can (8 ounces) crushed pineapple (drained)
1 ripe banana
1-cup milk
1-cup fresh blueberries
Put all the ingredients in the blender and blend until thick and smooth. As we were having another warm evening, I also threw in a few pieces of ice to make sure the smoothie was very cold and frothy. This recipe made enough to fill two large glasses so both my wife and I enjoyed a glass. When we drank the blueberry smoothie, we could taste the three fruit flavors and enjoyed the thick and frosty consistency.
This is an easy recipe to make on a warm evening that highlights the fresh taste found in summer blueberries.
