BLACKBERRY & BANANA SMOOTHIE

SORRY NO PICT. :(        

BLACKBERRY & BANANA SMOOTHIE 
This delightful drink can be made with any combination of berries and fruit that sound good to you.  Strawberries, Mango's, Blueberries, Banana's, Peaches, Grapes are just a few of the yummy things you can add. And guess what you do not have to have a blender or food processor to enjoy one of these drinks.  Another thing to think about too is find out what free wild produce is in your area, but make sure you research what you are picking first to make sure it's safe.  If you have children these are great for after school treats and will be among great childhood memories.  

Note: Very rip fruit make the best smoothies.
2nd Note: Not all fruit will be sweet enough, so add a little sugar to off set some of the bitterness of some fruits.
INGREDIENTS:
1 Cup of Blackberries. CAUTION THIS WILL STAIN YOUR CLOTHS
2 Very Rip Bananas with lots of black spots.

METHOD of PREPARATION: 
Okay here is what you need to do, think mash and smash. Use a potato smasher or any device you have that you feel can make you fruit into the best mash up job you can think of.  And don't worry about it not being pureed.  This is what I did for a long time and it still turns out good.

FIRST:  MASH MASH MASH

SECOND:
1. Divide the mashed between two glasses.
2. Add sugar to taste.
3. Fill the glass all the way to the top with ice. (Any type is fine)
4. Now add about 1/2 cup or more of milk of any type to the glass and mix.

Here are some of my favorite combinations:
Strawberry and Banana.
Mango and Two Bananas
Blue Berries, Banana and Strawberries.
Mango and Strawberries.
Red Pair (very ripe) and Banana.
The sky is the limit when comes up with different variations.  Have fun and create your own favorites.

ENJOY
