The inspiration for this recipe came to me one morning when I was feeling particularly sluggish. I had been meaning to try out some of the superfoods that I had heard so much about, but I wasn't sure how to incorporate them into my diet. Then it hit me: I would make a smoothie! I gathered up some frozen blueberries, raspberries, and strawberries, some plain coconut yogurt, almond milk, chia seeds, flaxseed meal, and honey, and threw them all into my blender. The result was a delicious and invigorating smoothie that gave me the energy I needed to power through my day.
