Berry Nutritious Smoothies
Get your blenders ready – smoothie season is here! And this spring, we’re all about berries. While there are technically over 400 types of berries worldwide, the classics we all know and love – strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, and blueberries – are full of vitamins, minerals, and immunity-boosting goodness. As the weather heats up and the temptation to grab a cold treat increases, reach for one of these “berry” nutritious (and delicious) smoothies to cool off while fueling your mind and body.
“This vibrant smoothie is one of my favorite ways to start the day, with up to 12 unique plants in a single glass. Berries are the star of the show. They are nutritional powerhouses, rich in anthocyanins – the compounds that give them their deep purple and blue hues – which have been linked to heart health and reduced inflammation. Blended with other colorful plants, this smoothie delivers fiber and phytonutrients that nourish the gut microbiome in one delicious glass.”
