At the farmer's market last Saturday, one of the sellers was selling blueberries. I didn't know blueberries were a September fruit, but apparently different varieties ripen at different times, and I'm getting the end of season blueberries just before cranberry harvest time. These berries are juicy, but rather tart, so after my daughter used some berries in her scones, I used a half a cup of berries in a shake. The cheesecake pudding mix in the shake is a good balance for the tartness of the berries, and really makes a delicious shake as a meal replacement, or as a dessert shake after a meal. This shake doesn't mix up totally smooth. The skins and tiny little seeds float around in the shake. (It doesn't bother me, but I know some people are sensitive about texture.) Here are the instructions:
1/2 cup washed, fresh blueberries
1 teaspoon sugar free, fat free instant cheesecake pudding mix
1 scoop vanilla shake powder
3/4 cup water
8 - 10 ice cubes
With water in blender container, turn blender to low. Add blueberries and process until berries are liquified. Add vanilla shake powder and cheesecake pudding powder. Turn to medium speed, and add ice cubes one at a time until shake is desired thickness. Serve immediately.
