Blueberry Smoothie Recipe - Protein Smoothie
My dad has always loved blueberries. It is something that we always had in the house growing up. We would eat them plain, but them in yogurt, put them in oatmeal, make blueberry parfaits, or make blueberry smoothies! This has pretty much continued into my adult life.
