Recipes: Fresh Blueberry Goodies

A friend let me come over and pick fresh blueberries last week.  Our family has been enjoying delicious blueberry goodies all week. It was great having a chance to catch up with a friend and pick blueberries.  I am thankful for the many amazing people in our lives.  Thanks Dee for your hospitality and the blueberries!

Strawberry Blueberry Smoothie

The Strawberry Blueberry Smoothies have been a huge hit with our family and the girls ask to have one every day for lunch now.  Here’s what we put in our smoothie (we have done several other variations throughout the week):

  • 1 cup Strawberries (fresh or frozen)
  • 1/2 cup Blueberries (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 Banana
  • 1/2 cup Strawberry Yogurt (any flavor will work, we used Strawberry Cheesecake a couple times too)
  • 1/2 cup Skim Milk

Blend everything in a blender until smooth and poor into cups.  I poured this amount into three small cups, if you need more double the recipe.

Homemade Ice Cream Topped with Freshly Picked Blueberries

We had Homemade Ice Cream and as a special treat we topped it with fresh blueberries.  Next time I might put the blueberries in the ice cream from the beginning, I am sure Homemade Blueberry Ice Cream would taste delicious.  The fresh blueberries were a perfect topping.

Blueberry Banana Pancakes

Our family ate Blueberry Banana Pancakes for dinner this week.  I  added fresh blueberries to the recipe and more on top.  It turned out very tasty.  The girls loved the Blueberry Banana Pancakes and had three each.

Fresh Blueberries on my cereal

The girls and I were eating Blueberry Pomegranate cereal for breakfast and added fresh blueberries as a special treat.  Brina and Karlie thought it was the best cereal they had eaten.  Our entire family has been enjoying the fresh blueberries.

Another great blueberry recipe is Blueberry Cobbler.  You can make Blueberry Cobbler using this recipe.  We have had blueberries on our yogurts and as a snacks.  What is your favorite ways to fresh blueberries?
