Acai Blueberry Super Smoothie

Then God said, "I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed on it. They will be yours for food." Genesis 1:29

I have been making this amazing new smoothie for breakfast this week. The BEST news is that it is SO good for you! Loaded with lots of super fruits (high in antioxidants), protein and not too many calories! The boys and I have been loving it...hope you enjoy it too! Oh, almost forgot to tell you the best part: this smoothie will make you beautiful (well, even more beautiful!) because blueberries are supposed to be super great for your skin!

- 1 CUP NON-FAT PLAIN GREEK YOGURT

- 1 PACK OR 3.5 OZ OF ACAI BERRY PUREE (I used Sambazon brand which is found in the frozen fruit section at HEB...come in 4 smoothie packs in one bag. Hope to find a more economical brand this weekend at Sprouts or Whole Foods.)

- 1 BANANA

- 1 CUP BLUEBERRIES (I USED FROZEN)

- 1 CUP OF ALMOND MILK

(If you have any protein powder, add a scoop and it will keep you full even longer!)

MIX IN BLENDER AND YOU ARE GOOD TO GO! THIS MAKES ABOUT TWO 8 OZ. SMOOTHIES.

P.S. Acai and mango go really well together too! I made one smoothie with just mango, banana and acai and it was very yummy too!
