Wild blueberry smoothie with a straw and product package.

This recipe features inTwinklโ€™s World Food Day and the Problem with Water.

Keeping a new year resolution to eat healthy has never been easier. Start with one simple idea like eating real food instead of something processed. Just look around your kitchen. I bet you have a whole assortment of fresh or frozen fruits and vegetables ready for a quick smoothie buzz in the blender. What I especially love about smoothies is that they can be completely customized to your own taste. Right now Iโ€™m loving experimenting with wild blueberries. Sipped through a straw or eaten out of a bowl with an assortment of toppings wild blueberry smoothies bring us one step closer to a healthier lifestyle.

Food trend predictions for 2017 will have you adding some rather unusual ingredients to your smoothie. How about charcoal or Peruvian maca powder? Ah-no thanks. Then there is blue-green algae, sorry, but not happening here. Lastly, and this one really blows my skeptic mind is something known as an "adaptogen" (is that a real word?) called ashwagandhaโ€ฆ.I canโ€™t even. Just give me some real food like wild blueberries!

And in case you did not know wild blueberries are quite different from cultivated blueberries. Wild blueberries are not planted, but occur naturally in fields in Maine and Canada. Smaller in size they have twice the antioxidants of regular blueberries and are more intensely flavored. They have a nice balance of sweet-tart and those flavors and nutrients are locked in at harvest when they are individually quick frozen (IQF). Find them in the frozen food section of the grocery store.

Felt heart.

Back to easy! Open your fridge, check your pantry and grab some wild blueberries from the freezer. You will have everything you need to put together a super food delicious and jam-packed naturally nutritious smoothie. Not to mention you will save a ton of money not buying supplements created in some laboratory.  This A-B-C (apple, basil, Cinnamon) wild blueberry smoothie came together in a few minutes with what I had on hand today in my kitchen. Notice the subtle changing layers of flavors as you sip down to the delicious last drop. Your belly says, "thank you"!
