Berries & Cream Tie Dye Fruit Smoothie Recipe

Sharing is caring!

Berries offer the most antioxidants than most fruits and summer is a prime time to indulge in these. This healthy fruit smoothie is perfect for breakfast, a snack, or if you just want a drink to help you cool off while eating barbeque on the 4th of July. The berries are sweet but a bit tart yet they nicely contrast with the sweetness of the cream. It’s the perfect balance of flavors.

This delicious ice cold fruit smoothie is perfect for anytime of the year, not just summer.
