I want to dedicate this post to my favourite berry.....Blueberry....I first came across this berry in teh supermarkets of London. On an impulse I picked it up and have never regretted that decision. And now they actually say that Blueberries are full of antioxidants and can actually prevent alzheimer's disease (I don't love it because of that, I just like them for their taste). Actually, come to think of it, it does not have any particular taste or smell eg. Bananas, mangoes, apples...all have some distinct smell and taste.....Blueberries don't....Infact last week when Suja came home, very unconsciously she made a comment that Blueberries are so tasteless....which is a fact....but I still love the crunchy feel when u bite it for teh first time. Also, they have this beautiful purple colour which make them look so pretty.

Just this morning I was wondering whether blue berries are the same as the ''Kaali Maina'' that we had in Pune. They have a similar taste and look, but I cannot seem to find more information on it. Will try googling again.

One of my favourite smoothies is

Blueberry, banana, mango, soya smoothie

Handful blueberries
1 banana- ripe
1 ripe mango
1 Cup soya milk
2 teaspoon honey

Put all the ingredients in to a blender and blend to a smooth consistency.
Serve chilled.
