Elderberries..... the other blueberries

The plants in the garden are early this year with the long summer. The wild blueberries are gone, and the elderberries are already here, hanging low from the high branches with the heavy weight of the sweet juicy berries, as if lowering themselves to be picked. In other years, they were ripe in early Fall, and, with the onset of first colds, I made juice and drank it, giving me a few more weeks of immunity. But in mid August? Smoothie time, with greek yogurt. Different, but tasty.

1 cup greek yogurt

1/3 banana

1 cup elderberries.

Blend, and serve. Enjoy!
