BERRY COCONUT ALMOND SMOOTHIE

Berry Coconut Almond Smoothie image

I was inspired to work on smoothie recipes this week when I defrosted a freezer and dredged out a half-filled bag of frozen berries. There was only one place for this lump of frozen berries - a rich smoothie. The key to the drink's flavor is the cinnamon. I always strain mixed berry smoothies because I don't like the texture of the little seeds, which don't blend up.

This smoothie was so easy to make and it turned out great! I used frozen berries and unsweetened almond milk, and it was the perfect consistency. I'll definitely be making this again.
