Recipe for the Week

This one comes from my current book, "French Women Don't Get Fat" by Mireille Guiliano

Blueberry Baby Smoothie
Serves 4

This very versatile, very healthy drink, especially rich in antioxidants, can be the better part of your lunch, snack, or even breakfast (though I prefer a more robust and balanced start to the day), as well as a dessert partner accompanying a cookie or warm dessert muffin. Blueberries freeze extremely well. The following drink, an old-fashioned version of the modern smoothie (rien de nouveau sous le soleil -- nothing new under the sun!), includes a little kicker.

12 oz. frozen blueberries
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons honey
2¼ cups 2 percent milk
Pinch of ground cardamom

1. Take blueberries out of freezer 30 minutes before using.

2. Mix the blueberries in a blender with the lemon juice, honey and milk. Add a sprinkle cardamom before serving.
