- ¼ cup dried Mulberry berries
- 1 tablespoon flax seeds
- 2 tablespoon acai powder
- ½ cup frozen butternut squash cooked and then frozen
- ¾ cup frozen dark cherries
- ⅓ cup spring water
- 1 cup hemp seed milk or Tiger nut milk
- 1 cup ice
First, blast together the plant milk and the butternut squash until well blended and smooth.
Add the Mulberry berries, and remaining ingredients (minus the ice) to the mixture and blend again till smooth.
Feed the ice to the blender, and blast on medium/high until icy and creamy.
- Always make sure your superfood powder is from a certified gluten-free source. This is an easily hidden gluten catastrophe.
- Optional boost - Add ¼ cup of chopped Jicama in the first stage of this smoothie for a tasteless extra nutrient-dense boost
- Add ¼ water or more to a soup pot on high. One brought to a boil add the frozen butternut squash and cover with the lid. Turn the heat down to low and cook for 6-8 minutes. Strain and let cool. Then freeze in ½ cup baggies so you can freely add to your smoothies.
