Blueberries

We went blueberry picking 2 weeks ago, and got some great pictures of Miya going from bush to bush, eating more blueberries than any 1 year-old should. But unfortunately, our camera's memory card is on the fritz, and we've lost the pictures. We have (correction:had) about 20 pounds of blueberries in our fridge and freezer, and have been eating them in lots of creative ways. We love blueberries. Jacob baked some blueberry buckle yesterday (now one of our new favorite desserts) and this morning I created a smoothie recipe worth posting. I adapted it from a Rachael Ray strawberry smoothie recipe:

1 c. boiling water
4 Tbl. Splenda
Lime zest
5 ounces cream cheeses (I had reduced fat in the fridge, so I used that)
1 tsp. vanilla
2.5 cups frozen blueberries



Mix the boiling water, splenda, and lime peel in a blender for 15 seconds. Add the cream cheese and vanilla, then blend until smooth. Then add the frozen blueberries and blend on high speed. Delicious, low sugar, and low calorie goodness!
