The idea for this smoothie came to me one morning when I was feeling under the weather. I had been reading about the health benefits of berries, and I thought that a smoothie would be a great way to get a concentrated dose of their nutrients. I started by experimenting with different combinations of berries, and I quickly realized that the combination of blueberries, raspberries, and strawberries was the most flavorful. I then added spinach for its nutritional value, and almond milk for its creaminess. I also decided to add green tea, which is a great source of antioxidants. The final touch was the addition of flaxseed and chia seeds, which provide a boost of fiber and omega-3 fatty acids. This smoothie has quickly become a favorite of mine, and I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!
