When the temperature hits 100 degrees in Portland the last thing I’m going to do is turn on the stove. Yeah we ate out both nights it was in the 100s and Little was in french fry heaven yet all I could think about was getting home and making my recipe for a dark chocolate blackberry smoothie. Blackberries are an invasive, prickly bush but I manage to convince Mr. Bejelly not to cut them down/poison them/set them on fire so I can pick fresh ripe blackberries every year.
This recipe is really simple and quick. I have the crappiest blender on earth but I mange to wait the 8 minutes it takes to whip this up without whining too much. I can’t really do ice cream because it’s just too sweet for me so this satisfies my craving for a nice cold drink and my sweet tooth.

Ingredients
- 2 ripe bananas, peeled and frozen
- 1 cup of raw milk
- 1 cup of fresh blackberries

I wouldn’t have thought to combine those but it sounds wonderful!
I have a ton of blackberries that I was ready to freeze, this sounds great.
Our blackberries are all dried up. I will have to remember this for next year!
Blackberries are one of my favorite summertime fruits! I put in a bush (vine?) this spring, but no blackberries yet. 🙁 This sounds like the perfect way to use them though!
I love blackberries. I’ve been simmering them on the stove top making a quick compote for pancakes in the morning and I would have to say it’s one of my all time favorite smells. If I wore a perfume it would be blackberry fragrance. Sorry no blackberries but trust me, once it sprouts, you’ll be up to your ears in them.
Mmmm… I think I am going to try this with almond milk. I might have to substitute cherries or strawberries. I don’t think the market around the corner has blackberries… but I might be wrong.
Cherries or strawberries sound yum.
Ooh, delish, it looks so refreshing. I love blackberries, they are awesome during the warm months.
Oh my yum!
I wish our blackberry bushes hadn’t all been cut down this year. This sounds so good!
I need to come over and eat at your house. You always have such great healthy food!
This sounds delish! I’ll have to try it out.
I love making smoothies. I’ve never thought to use bananas and berries. I usually use one or the other.
These look delicious!
That smoothie looks so refreshing and tasty.
I’ll have to bookmark this recipe for later.
Ooh, that sounds delicious!
Looks delicious!
I really need a new blender as well, especially because I really want to get into enjoying more smoothies and healthy shakes, like this one!
sounds like the perfect smoothie.
cannot wait to make this tomorrow. just bought a package of blackberries from the market.
I hope you like it 🙂
Delicious smoothie! Thankfully I have a blackberry bush in the back yard.
