Blackberry Shakes (Bobby Flay)

Submitted by NorthwestGal

"I first saw this prepared on Bobby Flay’s Grill It! Show a few years ago. And I recently stumbled across the copy of the recipe that I printed immediately after watching that episode. In warmer weather when you're cooking outdoors more often, you can do as Bobby Flay did and put the sugared blackberries in a metal bowl and heat them right on your outdoor grill."

This was a delicious smoothie NorthwestGal. So much flavor and thick and creamy too. I love blackberries with vanilla ice cream....sooo good. This is full of flavor and its good for you too. Really enjoyed the pomegranate juice in this drink. Thank you so much for sharing.

Reminds me of my grocer's shelf...no pulp, some pulp, lots of pulp, medium pulp, super pulp...makes me laugh outloud. Delightful drink! Made for Everyday Is A Holiday.

Delicious and good for you too! :-) I even used 'light' extra creamy vanilla and it was a great shake! The pomegranate juice and blackberries went together very well! I think there are some liqueurs that would go very well in this...it think I'll try amaretto first! Thanks so much for sharing this great drink with so many possibilities, NorthwestGal!
