Winter smoothies

Red Berry Smoothie

I suspect I'm not the only one who gives up her smoothie routine once the weather turns cold.

Give me some fresh, sweet strawberries, juicy Porter peaches and yogurt, and I'm set for summer smoothies.

Lately, hot tea and toast has sounded like a better breakfast. But where's the fruit in that?

So, beginning this weekend, I'm going to taste test some winter smoothie recipes that sound great. These smoothies use a combination of frozen fruit and fresh fruit that's easy to find in the grocery store in the winter, like cranberries, apples and grapes.

Let us know if you have any winter smoothie recipes.

In the meantime, here's one I'm going to give a try.

Red Berry Smoothie
1/2 cup black grapes
1/2 red apple
1/2 cup frozen strawberries
1/4 cup fresh or frozen cranberries
1/4 cup pomegranate juice
1 cup ice
1. Mix all ingredients in blender until smooth.

Maybe a dumb question, but are black grapes the same as the redish-purple ones? And, where do you find pomegranate juice? I noticed you mentioned it in the Greek Yogurt blog, too. Thank you...I enjoy reading your articles and your blog!

I'm going to use the darkest grapes I can find. But I think you're right... reddish-purple is a better description than black.

You can find pomegranate juice on the juice aisle of almost any grocery store. It will be near some of the more exotic juices, like guava.

Tried the berry smoothie this morning and what a treat! I even threw in a handful of blueberries as well. The color of the drink alone is beautiful..a treat for the eyes and the tummy.
