Nutribullet Recipe: Raw Cacao, Strawberry, Blueberry & Fig Recipe

Cacao Berry Blast


I’ve always wanted to get some blueberries into me, but I have never been able to stomach the taste.  To me, they taste like plastic.

They’re low in fat, but have plenty fibre, to help stop us being hungry all morning.  This is a great morning recipe for me.  It also helps with consuming natural vitamin C, which I’m not that great at doing.  I like oranges, but due to the carb count and high sugar, as a diabetic, I tend to shy away from them a lot.  Berries are my friends, so I really wanted to add blueberries to my diet somehow.  Diabetics need to watch their eyes, and given that Vitamin C is said to help prevent glaucoma, it’s not one that I want to do without on a regular basis.

The raw cacao in this, for me, was an acquired taste.  Don’t get me wrong, I love milk chocolate, but adding chocolate powder to fruit was a new experience for me.  I was on my fourth or fifth smoothie before I managed to get a taste for this.  I wouldn’t put it in every smoothie, but the mood enhancing properties certainly draw me to it.

A wee note, and I am so sorry I have to add this to my website.

I sincerely thank the huge amount of readers that show up weekly to read my wee blog, and this note doesn’t apply to the majority of you.

I’m not perfect, and this website is free to browse, read, and use my recipes.  It’s a personal website, not a big business.  Sometimes I make mistakes.  If you find one, I’d like you to let me know so I can fix it, but please don’t call me names.

Also, please don’t use my photographs anywhere else, as I have taken most of them myself.  With some photographs, I’ve paid to be able to use them or been given the right to use them by their owners.

If you wish to use my photographs, please ask.
