THE SIMPLY BERRY

A quick and fun recipe to have your day started like a champion!

EASY PEASY...SIMPLY DOOZY

Like I said in the article where I explained how to make The Doozy, I don't do exact measurements with my cooking. That's something that you are not taught to do when growing up in Italy, you measure with "your eye".  Besides "measuring with my eye", I measure with the tools that I have, in this case my own blender which has a 500 ml liquids capacity.

HOW TO MAKE THE SIMPLY BERRY SMOOTHIE 

1) Put in your blender: 
- A handful of blueberries
- A handful of raspberries
- A handful of strawberries
- 1 medium banana 
- 75 ml of pure organic coconut milk
- 150 ml of pure organic coconut water
- 1 table spoon of quinoa powder
- 1 table spoon of milled flaxseed

2) Blend it all up for a couple of minutes. 

3) Enjoy!
