Okay, I realize creamy and blackberry don’t usually go together but that is what smoothieweb.com is all about, mixing flavors and textures that don’t always come to mind. This blackberry smoothie is worth the risk. Let me know how you like it.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups of vanilla ice cream (a good start, yes?)
- 1 1/2 cups of frozen blackberries
- 1/2 cup of strawberries
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 tsp lime juice (for a tart kick)
- dollop of whipped cream
Blend until you can’t wait and then add the whipped cream.
