Fruit Smoothie Universe

There are literally thousands of different combinations of

smoothies you can make today but my favorite is the Berry

Smoothie! For taste and satisfaction you can’t beat throwing a

few locally grown or organic berries into the blender along

with your choice of other ingredients and presto!, you have a

drink that is not only healthy but it can also promote healing

or counteract the effects of aging. I know quite a few people

who go into the supermarket and grab one of those so called

“energy drinks” and gulp it down not knowing the damage that

those commercial drinks can do to a body. To me, the best

energy drink begins with the super-berry, also known as the

Blueberry. The blueberry is one of the most potent and life

preserving berries on the planet. Packed full of powerful

antioxidants, the list of benefits are too numerous to count!

Blueberries have high flavenoid and carotenoid and antibiotic

properties as well as being rich in vitamins A, D and C. They

also are high in minerals such as zinc, selenium and

phosphorus. Read the ingredients in a canned energy drink and

see if they can compare. Blueberries also are beneficial in the

prevention of macular degeneration (chronic eye disease),  

urinary tract infections and promotes healthy brain function as

well. Research has shown that blueberries can also inhibit

cancer cells and retard the growth or even stop cancer in it’s

tracks! My wife and I start every day with a sweet berry

smoothie and the main ingredient is the wonderful blueberry.For

true healthy energy try this morning recipe:

1 1/2 cup of plain Kefir or yogurt of choice

Sweeten with a touch of agave nectar and drink to your health!
