Berries (especially blueberries) have the highest antioxidant capacities among all fruits and vegetables. Essential for fighting the free radicals, antioxidants are found in the bright colored veggies and fruits (red, orange, yellow, purple) and make a reliable anti-aging ally.
Always look for raw berries (fresh or frozen) to benefit at maximum from their flavor and nutritional load. This smoothie is a delightful way to start your morning, with a spectacular color, a fresh flavor and a valuable pack of nutrients.
