Happy July 1st! Did you know July is National Berry Month? And not only that, June was Non-Dairy Month (boy, what a busy summer so far!) The awesome folks at Pacific Foods sent me some flavors of their great non-dairy milks to use in recipes – and sponsoring a giveaway for our readers of their delicious non-dairy beverages!
While I have used a lot of Pacific Foods products, I had not tried their Hemp, Oat or 7 Grain Milks – and I can say after…why hadn’t I tried them? There will be even more recipes coming in the next week or two using the Oat – it is wonderful in breakfast and in frappes.
So…since it is National Berry Month and my strawberries are going crazy in my garden (see…maybe planting 150+ plants DID pay off!), and it is shooting rapidly to 90°+ today…nothing calls me more than a thirst and heat quenching smoothie. Well, maybe the heat is a good thing. My first blueberries are blue as well…so let’s celebrate! PS: See the Rafflecopter link at the bottom for our giveaway of all the milks you need to make your own berry smoothie!
