The story behind it

Do you remember blue flavored drinks? I do, blue drinks and candy were always my favorite flavor growing up. If there were multiple flavors and one of each, I’d make sure blue is mine!

Blue is a great flavor isn’t it? I never really questioned what blue was, until I was living in the Netherlands. In Rotterdam no one had any idea what blue, or blue raspberry was.

After some serious googling, and asking the internet for help I got the answers I was seeking.

I soon found out, it’s an artificial flavor based on a nonexistent fruit.
But, that doesn’t mean we can’t put it in our smoothies.

Ingredients

1 Banana
½ cup blue raspberry syrup
¼ cup water
¼ cup sugar
1 cup ice

Why is it so good for you

This Blue smoothie is all about capturing that wonderful flavor many of us discovered in drinks like Kool aid, Squeeze-it, or Guzzlers.

While there is a bit of healthy banana in here for the texture, this is mostly a smoothie of indulgence, so drink up and take in the nostalgia!

Preparation

Place everything in the blender, blend till smooth.
