Berry Healthy Smoothie

Berry Smoothie
Berry Healthy Smoothie

1 1/2 C Frozen Strawberries

1 1/2 C Frozen Blueberries

2 Ripe Bananas

1 C frozen Spinach (a handful or two of fresh will work too)

2 C Almond Milk (this you may want to adjust so you can control the thickness)

I absolutely love this combination.  The fruit flavors cover up the greens and the ripe bananas sweeten it up just enough.  I tend to blend mine so it is pretty thick and eat it almost like ice cream.   This recipe makes a good bit so I would encourage you to share with a friend.  Creative Commons License photo credit: Azure Begonia

Power Combo: Blueberries and Grapes

BlueberriesImported Grapes



A study published in the Journal of Nutrition from Cornell University looked at the antioxidant capacity of various fruits. The author  recommends eating five to 10 servings of a variety of fruits and vegetables daily to reduce disease risks, as opposed to relying on expensive dietary supplements for these compounds.
