Blackberry Breeze

June 22, 2009

I am quick to take advantage of summer’s bounty of berries. I adore each variety, strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, but this wasn’t always the case with blackberries. I’m not quiet sure when my liking for blackberries blossomed. There is no defining moment, no particular meal containing this fruit that stands out in my mind. I suspect it just happened naturally. However my fondness of blackberries came to be, I have the feeling I will grow to adore these lovely berries more and more each season.

Some familiar name varieties of blackberries are marionberries, boysenberries, and loganberries, each of these berries are loaded with high levels of antioxidants, rich in fiber, and low in calories, carbohydrates and have no fat.

Which ever variety of blackberry you have on hand, from marionberries, boysenberries, to loganberries - will make this a delicious drink, blackberry breeze.

This drink is one refreshing way to savor the sweet taste of juicy blackberries. Whiz the ingredients in a blender and serve as an alternative breakfast drink, to accompany a Sunday brunch, or simply to get a dose of powerful antioxidants any time.

Blackberry Breeze

The stunning jeweled-toned color of this drink looks lovely in pretty stemware garnished with a slice of lemon or a single blackberry. To make more then 2 serving, double or triple this recipe to accommodate the number of serving needed.

2 cup filtered water
3/4 cup blackberries
3 tablespoons lemon juice, fresh squeezed
2-3 tablespoons agave, or to taste

Add all the ingredients in a blender container and blend until liquefied. Strain the blackberry juice through a fine mesh strainer, once or twice if necessary, to remove any seeds.

Note: This drink will separate, if it does just give it a stir.

Serves 2

Ooooo I love blackberries, too. Just eating a whole punnet feels like paradise. They aren’t available where I live, so overseas trips mean hunting for blackberries!
