I've been away from the blogosphere for a little while, so here's my triumphant return!  First grad school got in the way then I had a few medical hiccups, but now I'm both spring-breaking and healthy.

This recipe is one of my favorites when I'm craving something sweet.  All of the ingredients store well so I always keep them on hand.  It's thick for a smoothie, more like a sherbet consistency that I eat with a spoon.  If you wanted something you can drink you could add more alterna-milk or water.  Because it's thick I use my food processor to blend it, but if you have a sturdy blender that would work too.

Ingredients:

1/2 cup frozen berries (I like raspberries or blackberries)
1 Tbsp peanut butter or other nut butter
1/2 Tbsp maple syrup or honey or brown rice syrup
1/2 Tbsp high lignan flaxseed oil (I like Barlean's)
Approx. 1/4 cup alterna-milk (hemp, soy, almond, coconut)

Very complicated preparation instructions:


Place all ingredients in blender/food processor and blend until smooth.  Place in a cup and go crazy with a spoon!
