Who needs a recipe?

When I was in Fiji at the beginning of the summer, I was the joyful recipient of many awesome smoothies prepared for us by the volunteer team. And they were all oh-so-gooood.

One of the take-aways I got from the program was a booklet with recipes for each of the smoothies that we had been treated to. I've tried to make one or two of them since returning home, with mediocre results.

Last night I noticed that I had various ingredients in stock and decided who needs a recipe?

So I got a container and dumped in a pint of blackberries and blueberries and several spoonfuls of yogurt, some almond milk, a handful or so of baby spinach, a scoop of vegan protein powder and an ounce or so of Udo's oil. Mixed it all together with a hand blender and it was double-dee-liscious. As good as any I had in Fiji. M-m-good!

Who needs a recipe when one has a bunch of ingredients and a blender?
