It’s warm (finally) and the perfect temperature (a lovely 83°) for a smoothie!

We use Willamette Valley Fruit Co.’s large, juicy, heavenly, local fresh, frozen fruit for our smoothies. Yes, I said, frozen! Raspberries. Marionberries. Blueberries. Fruit that is grown right here in the Willamette Valley! We add banana and delicious, freshly squeezed orange juice from your Produce Department and blend until smooth. You can even ask your Market Barista to customize your smoothie to include yogurt, milk or soymilk. Mmmmmm. Yummy!

I love driving around in my car with a Market of Choice smoothie on warm afternoons. It gives me the energy to make it through the last few hours of the workday. Come join me in my new 3 p.m. tradition!

Berries don’t just belong in smoothies, of course. Imagine biting into one of those large, juicy berries inside one of our flaky, buttery scones or moist muffins. Makes my mouth water!
