This Blueberry Ombre Smoothie is a pretty and easy drink. It’s naturally gluten free and packed full of antioxidants for help fight off sickness.
I felt the sickness coming on for a few days. I was in denial. I made it the entire winter without getting sick once. I am not going to start getting sick.
No. No. No!
yes.
I. am. sick. 🙁
I haven’t been this sick in years. This is the first time I was out all weekend. Thankfully, my husband was able to take excellent care of the boys, and even took them out on an adventure by himself. I was so exhausted, I fell asleep on the couch in the midst of their play.
I awoke once or twice to the sound of airplanes and my youngest son shouting “F*ck It, f*ck it!”
Huh? Oh, yeah…he has some issues with words… 😛
I just rolled over. No biggie. He really isn’t saying the F word. Mr. Naughty’s words just seem to come out wrong 🙂 Keep in mind he’s only 2. We don’t use any profanity in our house so really it’s pretty funny when these things come out of his mouth. He really has no clue these words are bad.
My older son loves Star Wars and flies his Millennium Falcon, which the younger one copies. Falcon… F*ck it… Same thing right? At least in my son’s language… For more faux profanity see here 😉 #whateverimsick
I need something nutritious to help fight off this sickness. I’m thinking fresh blueberries. They might just be the perfect food EVER. Blueberries are chock-full of antioxidants and anti-inflammatory qualities. That means they are great for you and keep you young. I want to slather them all on my face to keep wrinkles at bay. Just kidding. (But not really.) Do I even need to mention they taste great and are perfect for smoothies? I always have bags in my freezer on hand for any occasion. I can’t wait for the fresh ones to arrive in the stores.
Blueberries are pretty amazing but even they, cannot stop the power of germs. I hope you’re staying healthy. I’ll be downing these the next week in hopes of getting better faster.

Hello, I’m Laura! Thanks for stopping by… I hope this blog will help you or someone you know and love. 
If you love blueberries, plant some bushes in your backyard. They don’t take up a lot of space, are practically trouble-free and the easiest of all fruits to grow. I love mine… what a pleasure to pick and munch. Of course, once they are in the house they need to be washed before eating. 🙂
P.S. The smoothie is beautiful. Can’t wait til blueberry time to try it.
