Bursting with nutrition and flavor, Wild Blueberries pack a one-two punch in this vibrant smoothie!

By posting this recipe I am entering a recipe contest sponsored by the Wild Blueberry Association of North America and I am eligible to win prizes associated with the contest. I was not compensated for my time.

Did you know that smoothies are most popular at this time of year in the winter rather than in the summer?  It makes sense when you consider that many of us have healthful eating on our minds as we start out the New Year.  And smoothies are certainly a quick and easy way to pack a lot of nutritious ingredients into a delicious and portable meal or snack.

For a tasty finale to any meal, try this delicious cobbler that’s brimming with summer fruit.

This month’s Recipe Redux theme is “Pie Love” and we were challenged to create a healthy makeover of our favorite pie recipe.  I love pie- apple, pumpkin, cherry, blueberry, you name it.  But that flaky, buttery pie crust that’s oh so good, is usually made with flour and lots of butter or in some cases, lard.  So for my healthy makeover, rather than go the traditional route, I decided to do a twist on a pie and make a fruit cobbler.  With a cobbler, you have a higher fruit to topping ratio so it’s a lot healthier.

A couple of weeks ago I posted a One-Ingredient Banana Ice Cream recipe- a quick and easy ice cream recipe using only fresh bananas.  Since then I’ve been on a quest for more healthy dessert recipes.  Let’s face it, it’s hard to find easy, guilt-free dessert recipes that also taste great.  That’s why I’m really excited about my Super Fast Peach Frozen Yogurt.  This delicious treat simply involves putting frozen peaches, Greek yogurt, honey and a bit of lemon juice into a food processor and blending until smooth and creamy.  You only need five minutes and the end result is a creamy, luscious treat that the whole family will love.  It’s hard to believe it’s so easy to prepare- no ice cream maker needed.
