For all your antioxidant and protein needs, this blueberry protein smoothie is the best way to start your day!
The best thing about smoothies is that no two smoothies are alike. Well, that could actually be a bad thing when you nail it, and it tastes so good!
That is definitely the case with this antioxidant blend of beautiful berries and fruit. If there is one fruit you can’t have too much of, it’s blueberries.
They are just so rich in phytonutrients and are extremely nutrient-dense. It’s hard not to eat a whole pint in one sitting!
Frozen blueberries, especially if they are organic, should be frozen at their prime also making them a nutritious addition to your smoothies. I personally have blueberries on hand all year long!
