Berry Smoothie

I made this smoothie this morning to hide a bunch of stuff I didn’t want to taste. I’m suffering from my second spell of illness in the past month. It has not been fun. (It’s also why I haven’t been posting, who wants to eat something a sicko ate?)

My dad gave me some anti-viral elderberry extract to help me get better, and stay better. Its not that it tastes bad, its elderberry extract, its just stronger than strong. Usually when you think of extracts you think of little bottles of alcohol-y fruit flavored liquids you add to things you are cooking or baking. Not this stuff, this stuff is almost as thick as honey, and as dark as molasses. Usually I take a spoonful of the stuff and pour it right down the back of my throat. This morning my brother’s magic bullet sitting right next to the bottle of extract was calling to me.

You’ll need:
2 tsp Sambucol extract (optional)
1 banana
1 handful frozen blueberries
1 handful frozen strawberries
1 c pomegranate blueberry juice

Add all to the magic bullet cup or blender carafe.

Screw on the blendy lid and blend, or put the lid on the carafe and blend.

Pour into a glass, drink.
