Ever since I got my free drink at Tropical Smoothie Café, I’ve been craving smoothies! Rather than pay $5.00 each, I bought a bunch of ingredients and made them at home. I’ve played around with all different fruit combos, but this is my favorite. It’s so good in fact, I call it the Purple Perfection Smoothie.

Purple Perfection Smoothies get their beautiful color from the mix of berries. To make them, you will need:

*  2 cups of assorted frozen fruit. I use blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, and bananas.

*  1 Cup of Almond milk

*  1 TBS of Chia seeds  (These are amazing; try them now!)

*  1 packet of Splenda

Blend all of the ingredients until combined. If you have an old, slow, cranky blender like mine, you may need extra liquid. Purple Perfection Smoothies make an ideal breakfast, especially on a hot summer morning. (It’s supposed to be 90 degrees here in New England…Yikes!)

If you have popsicle molds, this can also be frozen for a very tasty treat.

I paired this smoothie with scrambled eggs and coffee for maximum energy. I slept 7 hours, I ate breakfast, and I took my vitamins—all before 6:00AM. My week is off to a great start!

What’s your favorite smoothie?
