Apple & Wild Blackberry Pie Smoothie

Time: 2 mins

If you live in the UK then you'll know that there are wild blackberries everywhere at the moment, meaning you can take advantage of free food, grown without any pesticides and use them to make a tasty pie themed smoothie!

We found the Gruffalo!
During a dog walk yesterday we picked up quite a few blackberries and we also found the gruffalo! When picking always make sure they're a certain height off the ground (so that foxes and dogs haven't done their business on them) and always rinse them before eating! Ripe blackberries should come off the bush quite easily without too much force needed.

I'm fortunate enough to also now have a nutribullet (uni present from mum) which I am absolutely in love with and I can't wait to discover all the different things I can make with it! Due to the apples and oats in this recipe a high power blender would be best, but if not then just use the juice from an apple! This tastes so comforting and delicious and it's really healthy!

Ingredients:

1 Apple
My Nutribullet
1 cup blackberries
1/4 cup oats
3 dates
1 tbsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Dairy free milk - to max line

Method:

1. Add all ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth. Serve with a sprinkle of cinnamon on top and enjoy! Cassidy xx
