Star Smoothies | Chuck Berry, Halle Berry, Ken Berry and Star Berry | What do they all have in common?
They’re all Berrys!
But who is Star Berry you ask?
Star Berry is better known by most as …
A Blueberry!
We know it as a SuperFruit!
The Blueberry was known by early Native American’s as a Star Berry because of the Star shape blossom on the end of the berry. The Star Berry or Blueberry was soaked and used to die cloth. Early colonists would boil milk and blueberries to make grey paint! The early Native Americans used to prepare a dish called Sautauthig consisting of blueberries, cracked corn and water. Many Historians believe this dish may have been served on the First Thanksgiving table. And today, the blueberry muffin is the most popular muffin!

As mentioned in many of my previous posts, I challenged myself to better health and wellness this year. My continued daily yoga is going great. I never knew I would enjoy it so much, although I still haven’t convinced the hubby to join me yet. Being mindful about where and what foods I buy has been fun. Now that I have more time I’m pulling out all of my making it instead of buying healthy options and recipes which I hope to continue sharing with you all.
And I love the morning juices or smoothies! I feel so good when I drink these. I also have to say I think I may have dropped a few pounds as well. Always a plus!
I know I mentioned muffins earlier, but I think today we’ll have a smoothie instead.
How about a Blueberry Bombshell Smoothie!
You will need:
1 cup blueberries
1 whole cucumber
1 lemon
2 apples
2 cups spinach
2 carrots
3 stalks celery
1” fresh ginger
serves 2
Wash all thoroughly. Chop and peel cucumber, lemon, ginger and carrots. Chop apples and celery. Process all with your juicer or blender.
And enjoy!
I hope you’ll join me on my journey towards better health and wellness. I would love to hear what you are doing? Do you have a favorite juice?
Thanks for stopping by,
And as always, blessings to you all!

Fun! I didn't know they were called that, either. :) I keep getting antsy for berry season around here! I think I've got a while to wait, so I'll have to settle for frozen until then. Looks like a great smoothie combo!
Thank you, Its fun to find a little tid bit of info to add to the post. And who doesn't like fruit right? Now that we live in the tropics fruit is everywhere, year round. A real blessing! Frozen works too!
Ini wants to know if he can have one? Lol! Your posts are getting better with each one. Love the puns and the facts! We’ll join you for yoga 😉🙏
Of course, come on down! The juice will be ready for you. And I'm always down for yoga! Can't wait to see you! You're too sweet ox
That smoothie sounds and looks so great with a lot of healthy nutrients and good carbs! If you can get soem wild blueberries (bilberries), buy them for even more vitamins and health benefits! Here I only get them frozen or fresh during a few weeks in autumn, but if you find them , try them out! And they also have a very strong purple colour;)
I take that as a compliment from you! Your posts are amazing! Thank you, I will look for the wild berries. I am in my first year in Southern Florida, still trying to figure out the seasons. I will definitely look out for them. Thank you for your kind words friend!
Oh you are so welcome hun, looking forward to more from you!!
That looks like one big healthy glass of green stuff :)
My favourite juice is orange (I know I'm boring like that).. but I recently heard it is not good to have a glass of orange per day, so now I'm confused as to what I can and can't drink.
Pretty sure wine is still on the healthy list..😉
Everyone knows grapes are good! lol You should really try some of these juices, just add an orange to it. If you had asked me 4 months ago about juices I would have said no way. But they are really good! I guess as I'm getting older now I have to do all I can to keep healthy ..... thanks for the kind words!
Grapes are deeeelish!
They do look good. Super fresh and beyond healthy. I need to get a juicer first. Quick, must write it on the birthday list.
Cool! I didn't know they were called that. thanks for the recipe, it looks delish!
Yes, isn't that fun?! I like to share a few unknown tid bits with my posts, makes it more fun!
Thanks so much friend!
♥ Thank you as well! Have a lovely day!
