Berries Galore

On Monday evening I went for my usual 10-12k with Philip around Salford Quays in Manchester. 

However this time we decided to take sandwich bags as we noticed the week before there were hundreds of blackberries in bloom. 

We picked dozens upon dozens, and then struggled to jog with them home.

After checking through for little bugs and washing them we ended up with two big bowls full! 


We then simply blended them with protein powder,skimmed milk to make a after workout smoothie. Then we just left a few out in bowls for our breakfast and the rest we froze for jam, crumble and later smoothie making.


It is amazing what money you can save and what you can make when you put you hands and head to it (mind the bramble bushes though). 

Blackberries any one?
