Drink your Problems Away!

Suburbia has been pretty gloomy the past few days with more rain and dark clouds than the diary of an emo-hipster. Why, there's even talk of the world coming to an end tomorrow and I haven't even come close to reaching my goal of becoming the world's most kick-ass grandfather.

With all this melancholy looming around, it's enough to make anyone want to drink their sadness away. But there's good news folks. For one, the sun and blue skies have set aside whatever differences they once had and have got back together. Go ahead and look outside. I'll wait.

Now, if you're feeling better but are still kinda thirsty then the Project can help you out with a nice cold glass of a Banana-Berry Smoothie. Like any good smoothie, it takes less time to make than opening a can of fruit salad and has enough fruit to make said can of salad jealous. I used the last week's leftover blueberries with some extra fruit lying around to put this together but any combination of berries and half a banana will work wonders.



Banana- Berries Smoothie

What's In It:

-Half a banana
-Handful of blueberries
-Handful of blackberries
-Five-six chunks of pineapple
-Half a cup of orange juice (125 mL)
-Cup of blueberry or vanilla yogurt (175g)

Makes one smoothie



1. Start by lining the base of your blender with half of the juice, then add the yogurt, berries, remaining juice, bananas and pineapple. Secure the lid and blend for 15-30 seconds.



2. Pour into a frosted glass and garnish with a fruit skewer (Pineapple chunk + banana slice + blueberry + toothpick)
