I was wandering the aisles of Trader Joes the other day and I happened upon a new possible smoothie addition in the frozen fruit aisle, Acerola Puree Packets. I was excited to learn that each 3.5oz packet contained 1180% vitamin C! I thought it would be a perfect ingredient to incorporate for a new immunity boosting smoothie I was working on. My favorite thing about using Acerola puree is that they contain NO sugar, making it a perfect low calorie addition to my morning smoothie!
Immunity Boost Smoothie (makes 2 smoothies) 1.5 cups of Unsweetened Almond Milk 1 frozen banana ¾ cup of frozen strawberries 1 Acerola Puree Packet (3.5 oz) 1.5 T nut butter (I use peanut butter) 2 tsp ground flaxseed 1 tsp vanilla extract ½ tsp hemp seeds Directions: Combine all of the ingredients (minus the hemp seeds) into a high speed blender and blend until smooth and creamy. Divide into two glasses and top with the hemp seeds. Directions to Make Ahead: Combine the banana, strawberries, Acerola packet, nut butter and ground flax into a freezer safe bag. Store in the freezer until ready to use. Add the contents of the bag along with the almond milk and vanilla to a high speed blender and blend until smooth!
