Honeyberry Smoothie
🥤 Honeyberry Smoothie: Tart, Vibrant & Packed with Antioxidants
This honeyberry smoothie is pure purple perfection. With a flavor that blends the brightness of raspberries with the depth of wild blueberries, honeyberries (Lonicera caerulea) are made for blending. The result is a creamy, tart, and nutrient-dense smoothie that’s ready in minutes and feels like a treat — even when it’s healthy.
Did you know? Honeyberries are among the earliest berries to harvest in cooler climates, often ripening before strawberries. They’re also unusually high in anthocyanins, the same antioxidant pigment found in blackcurrants and aronia — giving them their deep purple hue and impressive health benefits.
At Dee’s Nutz and Berries in Brodhead, WI, we’ll be opening to the public in 2028, and we can’t wait to offer smoothies like this made fresh from our fields. Want to be the first to know about honeyberry tasting events and harvest updates? Check our event page or sign up for our newsletter below.
