Equipment

1 blender

Ingredients

1 cup raw zucchini chopped
1.5 - 2 cups milk any kind (I like unsweetened almond milk)
1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
2 cups frozen blackberries
2 cups frozen strawberries

Optional for nutritional boost:

2 tablespoons hemp hearts, chia seeds, or protein powder (to increase protein)
1-2 teaspoons spirulina or moringa powder (increases nutrient density)

Instructions

Place the chopped zucchini, 1.5 cups milk, and honey in the bottom of the blender. Add the frozen blackberries and strawberries on top. Add optional ingredients if using.
Start the blender on low and slowly increase to high speed. Add more milk if needed or if you desires a thinner smoothie.
Pour into glasses and enjoy this blackberry strawberry blend!

Notes

Nutritional Facts were calculated without optional ingredients.

If your blender is not high-powdered, you may need to stop and scrape down the sides of the container a few times or add more milk.

Fresh berries (instead of frozen berries): If you do not have frozen berries, and you want to use fresh blackberries and fresh strawberries you can! Start with only ½ cup of milk, and add more as needed. If you want it cold and thicker, add 4-6 ice cubes.
