Blackberry Smoothie

This is a funfilled fruity, creamy, colorful smoothie filled with the goodness of blackberries and dates! What else can you ask for? This is a great way to have the juicy berry! I happened to pick a bunch of these beauties. We had some fresh and made a smoothie with the remaining. It is enriched with dates and nuts which makes it more healthy and good especially for children. The best part is it doesnt contain sugar!

We are leaving to India tomorrow! So I will be in a break for a while. I have however scheduled some posts for the days to come. See you all next year!

Ingredients (Makes 2 tall glasses)

Blackberries - 1/2 cup

Dates - 5 (pits removed)

Almonds/Badam - 10

Cold Milk - 2 cups

Directions

In a blender combine together the dates, almonds, blackberries and milk and blend to a smooth consistency.

Serve chilled topped with berries or whipped cream.

It is that simple!

Sending this to FIC:Purple and Children's Day Event

and to FIL:Fruits
