I Did It
I had to, I couldn't help myself. I wasn't sleeping well. I have 40 more pounds of blueberries. Here they are, waiting to be washed, dried, and frozen.
In case you are wondering just what I put in my breakfast smoothie that causes me to need so many berries, here is what I do:
In a blender add
1 banana, peeled
1 1/2 cups frozen blueberries
1 bubble of Pom pomegranate juice (about 8 ounces, I think)
some orange juice (I know that's a little vague, probably somewhere in the 8 ounce range)
ice cubes
Put the lid on the blender and blend until smooth. If you want it thicker, add more ice, thinner, add more orange juice. Don't like blueberries, use raspberries or mango or whatever you like. I also add about 1/8 teaspoons of spirulina powder, but only with the blueberries. It is quite green and doesn't look so appetizing mixed with the mango. This makes 2 smoothies. Unless I am sharing with someone, I drink one and freeze one. I take it out of the freezer as soon as I get up and by the time I'm ready for breakfast, it has thawed out enough to eat. Happy Blending!!!

We'll have to try your smoothie recipe. We've got blueberries in the freezer, but nothing like 40-80 lbs!! Our 4 meager blueberry plants survived our trip to Scotland and have actually produced a few berries - but only enough for a bowl of cereal, not near enough for a smoothie or a blueberry roll! I admire your courage for washing, drying, and freezing all those blueberries. My sister-in-law, what a gal!
