Something that our garden is busting with this year is basil.  It’s grown so fast that it lifts the fabric cover we have over it (to keep the bugs off).  You can only freeze, dry, or pesto so much (yes, I used pesto as a verb) before you’re out of space and patience.  I wanted to come up with a sweet way to use the basil, and came up with this drink.   Let me tell you, if you want a refreshing drink, look no further!  The basil offers such an interesting twist on the typical blueberry smoothie.  Using frozen coconut milk instead of ice is another good trick as it keeps the smoothie creamy, not watery.

 This simple sippable snack is so superb (ok, enough alliteration) I entered it in the So Delicious and Go Dairy Free Snackable Recipe Contest.
