My latest smoothie concoction is this Berry Custard Shake.

Isn't it pretty?

I like to make us smoothies most days. I don't always manage, but I do try. It's a great way of topping up Cooper's five-a-day and he does so love them. Graham and I enjoy them too, but this one wasn't for Graham's vegan sensibilities as it has dairy custard and milk in it. I could have made him one with Alpro soya custard and soy milk, but he wasn't around, so he totally missed out. Shhhhhhh! don't tell him!

This luxurious concoction is full of strawberries, raspberries, custard, milk, flax seeds and cherry concentrate.

The cherry concentrate is from CherryActive and I have been adding it to a lot of our smoothies. It's lovely stuff and you only need a splash for a fresh cherry taste. Great when you think how short cherry season is and how expensive they are. Here is some blurb about it:

100% concentrated Montmorency cherry juice with no added preservatives. The gorgeous taste of Montmorency cherries! Each 210ml bottle typically made from the concentrated juice of over 650 Montmorency cherries. A 210ml bottle makes two litres of diluted juice (mix 30ml concentrate into half a pint of fresh water). Alternatively, add to natural yoghurt, smoothies or as a mixer.

Disclosure: BerryActive kindly sent me some cherry concentrate to try. I was not expected to write a positive review and any opinions expressed are my own.
