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!

Carrot Ginger Soup

I know that living in the Bay Area leaves me with little room to complain about the weather but it has been pretty chilly! I realize its not nearly as bad as it is for folks living in the Midwest and East Coast who have had record amounts of snow but cold enough to excuse a couple of nights of staying in watching DVDs with the kids and enjoying an excellent cup of hot soup.

The other night I made this delicious and filling Carrot Ginger Soup – and you guessed it, I did it all in my blender!

Carrot Ginger Soup

3carrots chopped
1 cup shredded coconut
1 ½ Tbsp shallots, diced
½ cup coconut water
1/4 c Zola Acai Original Juice
¼ cup orange juice
½ clove of garlic
1 Tbsp minced ginger
1 Tbsp miso
Pinch of sea salt

Place all ingredients in your BlendTec or Vitamix and blend until completely smooth. Enjoy!
