Cherry Berry Smoothie
I’ll admit it. I was a little nervous to make this Cherry Berry Smoothie with a fruit and vegetable juice blend.
I don’t really care for vegetables. I mean, I eat them, because it’s what you’re supposed to do, and I’m a mom…so I’m supposed to set a good example and all that.
But if you want the real truth, I’m not a huge vegetable fan, unless you count eating tomatoes in salsa or in pasta/pizza sauce. I can do corn on the cob, and roasted broccoli and asparagus. Other than that? Not so much. The idea of drinking vegetables through a straw sort of weirds me out.
So when I had the opportunity to review Naked’s new Power Garden Berry Veggie juice, I was a little hesitant. While the juice contains a ton of fruit I love (cherries, strawberries, plums and apples), it also boasts red beets (along with purple carrots, sweet potatoes, chickpeas and sweet corn)…which I won’t eat normally under any circumstance.
But I tried it, because that’s what a mom setting a good example does.
And you know what? I couldn’t taste the beets! I couldn’t really taste any of the veggies, although the juice isn’t quite as sweet as what I typically drink. But the color? Amazing, yes?
The color in these pictures might even be a bit diluted, because I added in some black cherry Greek yogurt, honey, and ice cubes. I did also blend in some frozen cherries, but basically, this vibrant color came straight out of the bottle.
And you know what? It tasted amazing! Doodle slurped down a huge glass of this, with no clue that it was actually healthy for him!
Total mom SCORE. 🙂

10 EASY SLOW COOKER MEALS RECIPE BOOK
Hello There!
Interestingly enough, I didn’t grow up with an interest in cooking.  In fact, I informed my mother on multiple occasions that I was not getting an advanced education so I could spend my evenings preparing meals.

Thanks so much, Trish! And it was a blast meeting you, too. Can’t wait to see you again in February!
Ashley – I am blown away by these gorgeous photos!! Of a smoothie! I am just getting used to shooting drinks. I’m not too great at it yet, but yours – so good! And you are making me crave something cold and fruity. YUM!
Oh Sally, you are too sweet. I think I lucked out on these photos because the smoothies themselves were so bright and vibrant – that made things a little easier! 🙂
I cant get over how vibrantly red this smoothie is! Not to mention it doesn’t look as if it contains any vegetables at all.

This is a really nice way to get a lift after a walk or exercise, my partner whipped up a couple after our sunday ride and we both enjoyed them plus this smoothie is healthy, what more can you ask 🙂
