Berry Good Smoothie

Chris — Tue, 19 Jan 2010 18:24:42 +0000

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.

Berry Good Smoothie

1 banana
1/3 cup blackberries or blueberries
½ cup Zola Acai
½ cup Apple juice
¼ cup of ice

Place all ingredients in a blender and enjoy!

Reader Recipe: Post Bike Ride Smoothie

Chris — Wed, 02 Sep 2009 21:26:12 +0000

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!

Thanks Candy!
