No Oxidantal Buzz!
No Oxidantal Buzz!
This recipe combines the powerful antioxidants found in tart cherries with an antioxidant cousin, the pomegranate. Mix them with some vodka and ice and the result is a multi-berryable buzz. You can spice up the drink with some blackberry brandy. Use it in moderation as it tends to overpower the other flavors. You may or may want to add a spoonful of sugar to help the (tart) go down, although, it’s very delicious on its own!
Ingredients:
- 8 oz Ice
- 2 oz Vodka
- 1 oz Pomegranate Liquor
- ½ oz Blackberry Brandy (Optional)
- 8 oz Tart Cherry Juice
- 1 Table Spoon Sugar (Add or Subtract to individual preference)
Preparation:
- Mix all in Blender
- Pour into 10 oz Glass
- Garnish with a Maraschino Cherry
- Serve

Ingredients:
- 1 cup frozen blackberries
- 2 cups ice cream (vanilla will do nicely)
- 1 cup frozen strawberries
- 1 cup 1% milk
- 1/2 teaspoon of lime juice
I would like to try this with 2% milk as well or even using lemon instead of lime. So please leave a comment if you try this and let us know what you think of your smoothie tweaks.

Berry Berry Blast Smoothie
Berries are probably my favorite smoothie ingredients and this berry smoothie has a truckload of berries, and feel free to shove some boysenberries in here as well or substitute. You can’t go wrong combining berries in a berry smoothie.
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup raspberries
- 1/2 cup strawberries
- 1/2 blackberries
- 1 cup low-fat yogurt (some type of berry yogurt would be best, but plain is fine too)
- 1/4 cup low-fat milk or 1/2 cup fat-free milk
- 2 cups of ice
While this smoothie is heavy on berries doesn’t lack of great flavor variety. I haven’t tried it with boysenberry but I would love to hear about it. Let me know if you try it. Blend until smooth.

Blend until you can’t wait and then add the whipped cream.
