BLUEBERRY DREAM SMOOTHIE
Look at this brilliant blue smoothie!! My new obsession is frozen wild blueberries and I’ve been grabbing a pack of Organic Wild Blueberries every time I run into Trader Joe’s (the best $3 I spend that day).
Wild blueberries are the smaller, tiny ones that contain 33% more anthocyanins (a flavonoid with potent antioxidant capacities) than regular blueberries AND are responsible for this smoothie’s beautiful, bright color.
​
Recently, I’ve been shying away from cold drinks in the morning, choosing warming gut-healthy homemade teas and tonics to start my day. This protein-rich smoothie is a perfect afternoon snack when your salad didn’t quite cut it for lunch and you’re itching for something sweet. I love the added punch of ginger to balance the ripe bananas and wild blueberries. Toss in your green of choice and blend it up. This anti-inflammatory & antioxidant rich smoothie is *the* cure for your mid-day slump!
