This smoothie is a just delicious. Berries are oh, so good for you and nothing beats a fruit smoothie on a warm day. This smoothie packs a punch of health nuggets such as: Vitamin A, Vitamin B1 and B6, Vitamin C, Vitamin K and Vitamin E. Minerals include Manganese, Potassium, Copper and more. And don’t forget antioxidants. This smoothie brings you plenty of those.
Berries are on the expensive side and I would love to say that I only buy the fresh and organic kind. But I can’t afford the organic ones.
Ouch. Or the fresh ones.
Double ouch.

Beets are not my favorite veggies. At all. Not even close. Buuuut, if I juice ‘em then they’re not so bad. And beets are actually very healthy for you. Beets are loaded with Vitamins A, B1, B2, B6 and C. Beets are also a great source of calcium, magnesium, copper, phosphorus and iron. Celery is full of Vitamins A, B and C with rich amounts of calcium and magnesium. The Red Pepper gives you high levels of Vitamin A, C and E. Not to mention other minerals such as potassium, manganese, thiamine, molybdenum, trytophan, copper, cobalt and zinc.

I tried a new organic red wine the other day from California. Amador County to be exact. It’s a 2006 Rocky Top Zinfandel made from organically grown grapes. The alcohol content is 14.2% and the cost is around 12 bucks. While this wine does contain sulfites, here is a blurb from their website on why they use the amount of sulfites they do.
“The wines are made by conventional means using a minimum of sulfites to preserve freshness and color. At bottling, our wine contains between 15-20 parts per million free sulfites, which diminish after several months in the bottle. … Read the rest
My new blender has been ordered, so it’s just a few more days until I don’t have to make my smoothie’s the poor man’s way! Hooray! But until then… here’s another yummy and easy to make smoothie. For the fruit, I just used my Omega 8006 juicer to make it liquid and then I added it to my vanilla yogurt and stirred vigorously. It was THAT easy. Or, if you don’t have any fruit, simply use orange juice and pineapple juice and viola, you’re as good as gold — although it’s more healthy to use real fruit
