Blackberry Coconut Smoothie

Blackberries might just be my favorite berry! Besides being delicious, they're full of vitamins and minerals such as Vitamin C and manganese! AND they are antioxidant powerhouses (antioxidants are those things that go to battle with the free radicals in our bodies, which attack our DNA and cause the C word)! In this smoothie, blackberries take center stage and make this smoothie sweet and tangy, while the coconut milk makes it smooth and creamy. Try it!

Ingredients:
10 oz bag frozen blackberries
1/2-3/4 cup homemade coconut milk (get the recipe here) or quality store bought coconut milk
1/4 cup liquid whey protein (optional, but here is how you get that). If not using, just use extra coconut milk
1 tbsp spirulina (also optional- if you prefer go ahead and use spinach or omit the greens alltogether but they add loads of vitamins and minerals to the smoothie)
1 tbsp pure maple syrup or 1 tbsp raw honey
1 tsp vanilla extract
juice of 1/2 of a lime

Directions:
Chuck it all in the blender and whip it up until smooth and creamy. If you want it extra smooth, strain it in a seive to get rid of the blackberry seeds. Enjoy!
