Berry Smoothies

Update-- I lied. An encounter with a bear while berry picking had me post, "Bears Win." Well, I couldn't "bear" to see ripe berries hanging off branches when they make for the best protein smoothies ever. For protection, I recruited DH to come help asking him, "why is it you can pick twice as many berries as me in the same amount of time?" Without skipping a beat he answered, "every other handful doesn't end up in my mouth." Guilty. Consider foraging in your area and posting what you find; mine are called either Juneberries, Serviceberries, or Saskatoons.

Right across my road we have wild blackberries! have not gotten too many but enough for a baby cobbler for my father in law.

DH requested a pie for his berry-picking efforts proclaiming protein powder smoothies can be all mine. We will be celebrating our 36th anniversary next week--we honeymooned in Canada fishing for walleye and picking blueberries--a Minnesota farmer's idea of a romantic time.

I think berries are as good as "bad food" gets. And foraging your own? Thats even better
