This is more of a suggestion than a recipe, as you really only need a few ingredients and they are variable. Good quality yogurt, delicious fresh blackberries, good quality honey, fresh sprigs of mint and if you have it- some fresh lemon zest.
Why is this news? Why is this a new blog post and recipe? Because I made it on a whim and it was delicious, and I only want to inspire you to create, assemble fresh ingredients yourself, feed yourself well, and make this a habit….
Substitute strawberries or other berries for the blackberries…
One of the very first recipes I ever created for Suhoor (early morning meal before a fasting day) was this Very Berry Smoothie. It incorporates such healthy ingredients, including berries which are full of antioxidants. The original recipe is in my first cookbook, Summer Ramadan Cooking, which is available on Amazon.
This video is sponsored by one of my favorite online shops to procure a lot of my organic spices, salts and other ingredients, Mountain Rose Herbs.
To top the smoothies, I love to use freshly chopped nuts like almonds or pistachios. You can get halal-certified pistachios in the ad below.
