Summer time means it’s smoothie season! Everyone loves a good smoothie, and we’ve found a way to spice things up from the usual with the addition of Mt. Wilder Berries Organic Super Powders.
Mt. Wilder Berries are brand new to the shelves at WholeLife, and we’re so excited to have them here! They’re bringing the goodness of wild berries foraged from the pristine Carpathian Mountains in Romania to the shores of Australia. Their Wild Blueberry and Wild Cranberry Organic Super Powders are freeze dried so you can add a nutritional antioxidant hit to basically anything you desire with ease! Freeze dried powders are perfect to use in baking and in smoothies not only for their amazing nutritional properties, but also as a fun natural food colouring.
So what’s the deal with ‘wild’ berries? Aren’t all berries made equally? We were shocked to find out that the answer to that is in fact, NO! Wild berries have 4 times the amount of antioxidants than farm grown berries and are much more potent in flavour and smell. Wild berries also hold less water content, so they are richer in nutrient density, and they have been grown all natural without human intervention – just as nature intended.
We hear you – “what makes this smoothie a mermaid smoothie?” Is it because it’s colourful and serving serious mermaid vibes, or is it from the addition of its ocean counterpart, sea moss? Or is it because all the mermaids we know are on the wild berry train? All we know is you need to start incorporating these amazing wild berry super powders into your daily smoothie routine to reap the health benefits!
Ingredients:
- 1 tbsp Nature’s Farmer Sea The OG Sea Moss
- 1 frozen banana
- ½ cup frozen pineapple
- 1 tbsp almond butter
- 1 tbsp Nutra Organics Collagen Beauty Unflavoured
- Coconut water (enough to cover the rest of the ingredients in the blender)
- 1 tsp Mt. Wilder Berries Certified Organic Wild Blueberry Super Powder
- 1 tsp Mt. Wilder Berries Certified Organic Wild Cranberry Super Powder
Method:
- Add all ingredients except for the Mt. Wilder Berries Super Powders to a blender and blend until smooth.
- Once blended, pour a small amount into a bowl. Add in a teaspoon of the Wild Cranberry Super Powder to this portion and stir to combine and give the smoothie a pink colour.
- With the remaining smoothie, add in a teaspoon of the Wild Blueberry Super Powder and re-blend for a few seconds to give this portion a purple colour.
- With your smoothie glass, spoon the pink smoothie around the inside edges of the glass. Then pour the purple smoothie portion into the glass. The mixture of the two colours should create the mermaid smoothie effect!
- Enjoy!
