We picked strawberries today, and despite my best efforts to remind the children the berries to pick, I still ended up with lots and lots of white or orange berries from Henry. Oh well. It was a lot of fun, and was one of the things the kids put on their "summer bucket list". I hope to freeze plenty for smoothies, since they are a staple around here! I have modified our smoothie- here is what we do now....
apple juice (I just eye ball everything. They always turn out yummy!)
yogurt (I like Stonyfield brand in the big tubs)
frozen strawberries
spinach
honey (local)
These are so refreshing and the kids always ask for them. I like that we get in a serving of spinach this way, and local honey. Carson especially loves them. I also love how our Blendtec blender makes these! You have no clue about the spinach or yogurt (which I don't like normally). It grinds everything up so well! Definitely worth the investment!
Anyway- I hope to get even more berries to freeze before the season is over!
Maybe I'll even make a strawberry pie! Yum!
Be sure to get plenty of berries before berry season is over for another year!!!!!!!!!
There is nothing like a fresh berry right off the vine! I honestly forget about germs, etc. and just enjoy a few fresh ones! The kids love to pick and I help them a bit. We all leave happy! :-)
