Summer Berry Smoothie

This Summer Berry Smoothie is my family’s all time favorite smoothie that I make. It’s light, refreshing, with just a hint of sweetness!

This Summer Berry Smoothie is my family's all time favorite smoothie that I make. It's light, refreshing, with just a hint of sweetness!During the summer, when berries are on sale I buy a gazillion of them, wash them, and freeze half of them in baggies so that we can have this smoothie year round. In the winter, use the frozen berries and omit the ice and in the summer use the berries and add a cup of ice or two. I also make this for dessert, but I had a touch of whipped cream to make it more “dessert-y” for the kids.

But with the other half of the berries, I store them in my new Rubbermaid® Freshworks™ containers and they will stay fresh up to 80% longer. Which means I can really stock up and not worry that my berries will be rotten in a few days.

rubbermaid-with-blackberriesI have been using my containers pretty much non-stop since I was sent some to try out several months ago. They work best for berries and lettuce, which means they are perfect for summer-time use.

My favorite features are:

  • Dishwasher safe and BPA free,
  • the CrispTray™  which elevates produce away from moisture and promotes proper airflow to help prevent spoilage,
  • and it has a Revolutionary FreshVent™ Technology which is a patented membrane that naturally regulates the flow of O2 and CO2 to create the optimal environment for keeping produce nearly as fresh as the day it was picked.

One quick note, I’ve made this recipe with all sorts of types of orange juice and the quality of the OJ really plays a difference….look for one that is not from concentrate and one that has pulp, it adds extra bulk and fiber. You won’t notice it ones it all blended up. I promise!

    I love the review on the Rubbermaid Freshworks containers and this recipe for the Summer Berry Smoothie. I only hope when I make this myself, that I can do as good as you did in the mouthwatering photos.

    I love smoothies in the summer – that’s a great combination of berries. I’ll trust you on the pulp…I hate the stuff so it better be gone.

    My blueberries and raspberries get mushy spots pretty quickly. It sounds like this is the perfect container for them.

    That is beautiful. Strawberries are so delicate. Martha Stewart says not to wash them until you are ready to prepare or eat them. It’s hard to keep them.

    Love smoothies in our house, but we rarely make them. I’ll have to give this one a try. I buy berries in bulk when they go on sale to cut up and freeze, so I have some ready to go!
