Summer’s here.. No, not really. It’s the dead of winter here in Taiwan. On the bright side, we don’t have sub zero temperatures. It’s sunny out and the average high temperature is 26 degrees Celsius (78 F). YEAH! 26 degrees and they still call it winter. Pfft… So, naturally, this to me is equivalent to summer.
I recently bought.. let’s just say, ahem.. more than I could handle blueberries and raspberries. It’s not a lot that I could make jam yet too much to just eat them as a snack. So, for using so much brain power up to this point, I shall reward myself with a lovely, delicioso, mixed berry smoothie. Summer = perfect time for smoothie. In this case, a self-claimed summer.
Lesson learned: Always buy more food than I can handle so that awesome concoctions like this continue to exist.
