Do you ever wake up and feel like, well, crap? When that happens to me, I know the culprit is eating too much bad food the day or night before. Some people get away with it, but I don’t.
The best remedy for me is to simply do a better job eating clean, whole foods – and eliminate white stuff like processed sugar and flour. And of course, combining that with more exercise, sunshine, blah, blah, blah.
Smoothies are such an easy and delicious way to kick off a day of eating better and feeling better. My favorite smoothies don’t typically include blueberries, but lately I’ve been neglecting to eat richer colored foods. I’m not especially fond of mixed berry smoothies, so I really love the idea of this perfectly sweet and kind of creamy blueberry smoothie.

I have made this for breakfast everyday for two years, however in winter months I add cinnamon -about 1/2 tbs or more-which is warming for the body and I just started adding a TBL of chia seeds. This is a great way to start the day!!
Oh, yes! I like this recipe! I just know this is creamy and delicious. 🙂
