Very Berry Detox (smoothie)

I found this recipe in Deliciously G-Free by Elisabeth Hasselbeck. She has lots of really good recipes in her book. If you are going gluten free --- I recommend this book. She calls this a detox but it really is a delicious smoothie. It was very refreshing on a warm day.

1/2 cup blueberries
1/2 cup raspberries
1/2 cup blackberries

(I didn't have raspberries or blackberries --- I had blueberries and strawberries that we had picked ourselves and then frozen. Frozen worked really well. Added a bit of cold to the mix - really delicious!)

1/2 cup baby spinach leaves
1 cup brewed red bush or green tea (we used organic decaf green tea)
1 tablespoon sugar (we did not add this - berries are sweet enough)
4 ice cubes

Place all the ingredients in a blender and blend on high speed until smooth. Serve immediately.

A Time to Dance by Karen Kingsbury - book review



Abby and John appeared to have it all. They appeared to have the perfect marriage. Things aren't as they seem. Abby and John have grown apart and now all they do is fight. John is on the verge of an affair. Abby is just distant or angry. They no longer sleep in the same bed. After 22 years of marriage they are on the verge of divorce. Yet, with God all things are possible. They each begin to put their focus back on God. Slowly they each being to see the other's point of view. The book is a story about reconciliation and healing. I very much enjoyed the book. I highly recommend reading it.
