Blueberries & Blackberries & Raspberries, Oh My! Oh, and Strawberries Too!

That's right, its smoothie time! It's pretty much necessary, considering I just brought home 2 containers of raspberries, 2 containers of blackberries, a container of blueberries, and a container of strawberries. You guessed it, I went to the grocery store again! :) But only to buy fresh fruit for the week to eat with my Tator Tot Casserole!  Well I ended up getting some lettuce, tomatoes, and milk too, but that's minor compared to what could have happened.  And get this, I spent a total of $16! That's IT! Normally this lot of food would cost at least $25-30 (especially with all those berries!) at any other grocery store......have I convinced you to shop at Aldi yet? :P

Start off by rinsing your berries.  A good trick is to put them in a colander and rinse them with the faucet, then fill a large bowl with water and a tablespoon or two of vinegar, and then nest the colander full of berries in the bowl.  The vinegar makes the berries stay fresher for longer, so if you don't use them all right away, they won't grow mold as quickly.

Drain the berries, and measure out a half cup of each of the four kinds.

Place them in a blender or smoothie maker (I use the Ninja kitchen system with special sized smoothie cups) with the honey and ground flax, and blend until smooth.

Garnish with extra berries!

Even if you only buy one container of each fruit, you will still have lots of leftovers so you can make these delish smoothies a few mornings in a row. :)
