I was definitely early birding this morning, at 2:30 am to be exact.  You know what they say, ‘the early bird gets the worm…’ so after catching up on some blogging and a quick Cup ‘O Joe…off to our local farmer’s market I go!  My total shopping spree was $58.00 and my goal coming in was to buy fresh strawberries to make an Eton’s Mess.  So strawberries, amongst other goodies and back home I go.  My younger son loves to snack on strawberries and I can’t wait to make him the Eton’s Mess but before that, a special request for a strawberry smoothie…my way 🙂

Yield 2 full glass (with extra crushed ice)

Ingredients:

• 6 to 8 fresh strawberries

• 1 tbsp honey (I use an organic honey purchased from our local farmer’s market-as pictured)

• 1 small strawberry yogurt (approximately 1 cup)

• 1 tbsp wheat germ

• 1 glass ice cubes for blender

Directions:

Blend all the ingredients together.  Add additional crushed ice in the empty glass; pour in smoothie and ENJOY!–gcc
