So it is no secret that I love smoothies. If you look over my entire Instagram feed I'm sure theres dozens of photos of smoothies. I like to try and start my day with a smoothie as they are so filling (a good substitute for breakfast when you're in a rush) and full of vitamins!
Smoothies are really easy to make and you can make them as thick or thin as you like. The thicker the smoothie, the more filling it will be.
Now I've made my fair share of smoothies, some a lot better than others. I've found that practice makes perfect - have a play around with all different kinds of combinations and find out what you like and what you don't.
Recently I have been making this little gem after finding this combination worked! So for all you readers that are eating more healthily for 2015, you might want to give this a try!
Blend together:
- 1 handful of strawberries
- 1 handful of raspberries
- 1 handful of cherries
- 1 handful of blueberries
- Approx. 20mls of cold water (optional - to make it thinner)
The strawberries contain ellagitannin which has been shown to have anti-cancer properties. The antioxidant phytonutrients in raspberries can help improve learning capacity and motor skills. Cherries may help a wide range of conditions affecting the joints, including arthritis, gout and rheumatism. Blueberries are a good source of zinc and many other antioxidants and nutrients.
So clearly it's one to try!
Thanks for reading!
