I love berries- adore may actually be an even better word.  So I’ve been using them in my daily green smoothies and I am just enjoying them SOOO much!  Here is a recipe below.  I hope you enjoy these summertime green smoothies too!  And just so you know, this recipe is low in sugars, too!

1 cup blackberries

1/2 cup blueberries

5-6 strawberries, stems removed

1/2 lemon, peel intact  (or 1 orange, peeled, or 1 apple, cored)

6-7 red or green leaf lettuce leaves

1 rib celery, chopped

2 Tbsp coconut oil

2-3 Tbsp ground chia seeds

liquid stevia to taste (6-15 drops)

4 cups water to blend

Savor with a loved one (2 or 4 legged….) and enjoy while sipping outside!  No one will ever guess there are 2+ cups of greens in this beautiful, delicious smoothie!  And that’s our dog Dinga, below, drinking her smoothie too.  She loves them so much, she drools when the blender runs!
