My latest smoothie concoction is this Berry Custard Shake.
Isn't it pretty?
This luxurious concoction is full of strawberries, raspberries, custard, milk, flax seeds and cherry concentrate.The cherry concentrate is from CherryActive and I have been adding it to a lot of our smoothies. It's lovely stuff and you only need a splash for a fresh cherry taste. Great when you think how short cherry season is and how expensive they are. Here is some blurb about it:
100% concentrated Montmorency cherry juice with no added preservatives. The gorgeous taste of Montmorency cherries! Each 210ml bottle typically made from the concentrated juice of over 650 Montmorency cherries. A 210ml bottle makes two litres of diluted juice (mix 30ml concentrate into half a pint of fresh water). Alternatively, add to natural yoghurt, smoothies or as a mixer.

Disclosure: BerryActive kindly sent me some cherry concentrate to try. I was not expected to write a positive review and any opinions expressed are my own.
Looks very tasty Jac and healthy to boot!
ReplyDeleteThanks Stuart, I was rather pleased with it :)
DeleteOh yum! I really want some of this now.
ReplyDeleteWe've been getting into smoothie making too but haven't yet managed to get away from banana bases.
I also love your little milk bottle. What a lovely way to serve it.
Banana makes such a great base for smoothies Laura and adds a nice sweetness is the fruit is a little tart. I have to admit most of our smoothies include banana too.
DeleteOhhh yum! That looks so pretty and sounds delicious x
ReplyDeleteThanks Kim :)
DeleteWonderful smoothie. Would be perfect for Fall season.
ReplyDeleteThanks :)
DeleteLove your presentation - so cute! I think if I showed Mr CC a drink containing custard he would never drink anything else again!
ReplyDeleteHaha, you'll have to think carefully about this one then CC :)
DeleteI had a kick of using cherry active for awhile for my joints. I would just drink it diluted but this sounds MUCH nicer. Poor Graeme. You'll need to make him a vegan one. Bet it would be just as lush
ReplyDeleteI know I should make him one.
DeleteI didn't realise it was good for your joints. Must tell my mother-in-law.
This looks so good! I'm sure it even doubles up as a dessert and a great way of using up surplus fruit.
ReplyDeleteIndeed Jacqueline, it makes a great dessert :)
DeleteI have never ever thought to put custard in a smoothie. What a fab idea. This is on my to do list.
ReplyDeleteYou'll love it Bintu :)
DeleteSo glad I found your site! I try to have a smoothie every morning too- this one looks delish- will try out using custard :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by :)
