The Seahawks are served Bow Hill Blueberries in their team kitchen. “When I learned that the Seahawks’ head chef had the mission to serve his boys the freshest, cleanest, most nutritious food possible, I figured we had something to offer that he might like. It turns out we did,” Soltes wrote. “The Seahawks use our blueberries at their smoothie bar. The players make the smoothies themselves.”

Soltes added that when she made her first delivery she ran into player Richard Sherman by the service elevator leading to the kitchen, “and I want you to know – I can vouch for him – he’s very nice to blueberry farmers.”

In honor of the Seahawks, the Bow Hill Blueberries family are making Skagit Valley Blue and Green Smoothies this Sunday. The ingredients she used were from farmers in Skagit and Whatcom counties, and listed below.

She also provided a blueberry champagne cocktail recipe (scroll down for recipe and photo).
