Berry Good Smoothie

Tuesday, January 19th, 2010

When you’re a parent, you almost always get sick if your kids are sick.  Since a cold is starting to go around my house, I tried this blend of berries and Zola Acai to boost my antioxidant intake and immune system. This recipe is what my kids always call “The Berry Good Açaí Smoothie” because it incorporates berries (blueberries or blackberries work well) and Zola Acai to give you energy and give your immune system a fighting chance.

Reader Recipe: Post Bike Ride Smoothie

Wednesday, September 2nd, 2009

Today, I received a very kind email and smoothie recipe from Candy Steele, a Zola fan and Blender Diaries reader in Hudson, IA.  Candy said she always keeps some Zola Acai Original juice in the freezer as she likes it a little slushy, whether in a smoothie or in a glass!

Here’s Candy’s Perfect Post Bike Ride Smoothie Recipe:

  • Blue Bunny Light Yogurt
  • One banana
  • Zola Acai Original
  • Handful of Chia seeds
  • Handful of ice

Put all ingredients in a blender and voila!

Candy also sent through a photo of her smoothie ingredients — we need to get her some more Zola, she still has the old bottles! :)
