With their natural sweetness and rich flavor, they blend perfectly into a creamy, nutritious smoothie.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup fresh mulberries (you can substitute with frozen mulberries if needed)

- 1/2 cup almond milk (or your choice of milk)
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup ice (optional, for a chilled smoothie)
Instructions:
- Prepare the mulberries:
