Today's Smoothie
Today we made a smoothie with:
1 cup Ceres passionfruit juice
1 cup Brown Cow vanilla yogurt
1 frozen banana
1/2 cup fresh mulberries
1/2 cup ice
The result is bright purple, mostly thin, a little creamy, with a terrific fruity flavor. I wasn't sure the mulberries would work after the "peppery" effect of blackberries, but maybe that's because the blackberries were frozen. In any case I'm thrilled to find a new thing to do with my mulberries.
Mulberry trees grow wild across much of Turtle Island. If you don't have any, you can buy some from a native plant nursery. Birds and other wildlife love them. (Don't plant them over a house, garage, or driveway as they rain fruit everywhere and it stains. But it will be fine over grass or dirt.) Sometimes you can find mulberries at farmer's markets for a ruinously high price.
