Today's Smoothie

Today we made a smoothie with:

1 cup Ceres passionfruit juice
1 cup Brown Cow vanilla yogurt
1 frozen banana
1/2 cup fresh mulberries
1/2 cup ice

The result is bright purple, mostly thin, a little creamy, with a terrific fruity flavor.  I wasn't sure the mulberries would work after the "peppery" effect of blackberries, but maybe that's because the blackberries were frozen.  In any case I'm thrilled to find a new thing to do with my mulberries.

Mulberry trees grow wild across much of Turtle Island.  If you don't have any, you can buy some from a native plant nursery.  Birds and other wildlife love them.  (Don't plant them over a house, garage, or driveway as they rain fruit everywhere and it stains.  But it will be fine over grass or dirt.)  Sometimes you can find mulberries at farmer's markets for a ruinously high price.
