I’m in the mood for a smoothie since my blackberries and raspberries will go bad soon. My sour cream expires in three days, so it’s time to use my Nutri Bullet and clear out my freezer by adding ice cubes.

Google: “A smoothie is a blended drink made from fruits, vegetables, and nutritious ingredients like yogurt and protein powder, designed to enhance nutrient intake. Healthy smoothies can increase vitamins, minerals, fiber, and antioxidants, promoting gut health and overall wellness within a balanced diet. They help boost fruit and vegetable consumption while providing high fiber for digestion and satiety. Additionally, ingredients with complex carbohydrates and healthy fats can offer sustained energy and support brain function. Smoothies can also be customized to fit individual taste preferences and dietary requirements.”

“Sour cream is a dairy product made from fermented cream that offers benefits such as probiotics for gut health, fat-soluble vitamins, protein, and calcium. Despite its nutritional value, full-fat sour cream is high in fat and calories, so it should be consumed in moderation as part of a balanced diet. The live bacteria in sour cream can aid digestion and nutrient absorption, while its essential nutrients support overall health.”

“Berries, including blueberries, raspberries, and strawberries, are nutrient-rich fruits that offer health benefits such as reducing oxidative stress, supporting heart health, and aiding digestion. They contain antioxidants like polyphenols and anthocyanins, which protect cells and promote healthy blood sugar levels thanks to their low glycemic index. Regularly consuming diverse berries can help fight inflammation, support the immune system, and lower the risk of chronic diseases, including type 2 diabetes and certain cancers, while also providing essential vitamins and minerals.”

Glad to finished up my berries and leftover bits of sour cream and making a healthy icy and delicious drink. Let’s get smoothie drink and Brrrrrr!!!!
