Our Antioxidant-Rich Berry Blast is a delicious and nutritious way to start your day. It's packed with antioxidants, fiber, and protein, and it's naturally sweetened with fruit. Plus, it's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences.
The Antioxidant-Rich Berry Blast was born out of a desire to create a healthy and delicious smoothie that could be enjoyed by people of all ages. We started with a base of mixed berries, which are packed with antioxidants and fiber. Then, we added frozen banana for creaminess and sweetness, plain coconut yogurt for protein and probiotics, unsweetened almond milk for a boost of calcium and vitamin D, chia seeds for omega-3 fatty acids and fiber, flaxseed meal for lignans and fiber, ground turmeric for its anti-inflammatory properties, and a pinch of black pepper to enhance the absorption of turmeric. The result is a smoothie that is both delicious and nutritious, and that can be enjoyed by people of all ages.
