Almond Berry Smoothie

There aren't many things I crave more in the summer than a smoothie. The cold, creamy, icy texture combines perfectly to counteract the hot, muggy, blistering summer heat. Summer days can get as hot as 115 degrees in Oklahoma, so anything that can help combat that is instantly welcomed.

My husband and I have gotten in the habit of buying large quantities of berries from Sam's and freezing them in batches so we can always have a smoothie option on hand. This summer, we had pretty much every combination of strawberry - blackberry - blueberry you can imagine.

One of my favorites was one that combined blackberries and strawberries at the height of their seasons, alongside some almond milk. It was cold, it was crisp. Not only do I not want a lot of food in the middle of summer, but I also don't want to have to put a lot of effort into my food. I want light. I want easy. This recipe is all that and more.
