DEEP PURPLE BLUEBERRY SMOOTHIE WITH BLACK QUINOA
My idea for this week's Recipes for Health was to match grains and fruit by color and make nourishing smoothies. For this one I could have also used any of the black or purple rices on the market, such as Alter Eco's purple jasmine rice, Lotus Food's Forbidden Rice or Lundberg Black Japonica. I happened to have a full bag of black quinoa in the pantry, so that's what I went for and it worked beautifully. You can also use fresh blueberries for this, but when they are not in season, frozen will do fine and will eliminate the need for ice cubes.
