Introduction

This is my favourite fruit smoothie, packed with antioxidants from the berries, aswell as Vitamins C & K is useful amounts. The almond butter adds calcium and magnesium, though can be substituted with another nut butter or taken out completely. Maple syrup controls blood sugar levels, and adds sweetness. The banana acts to thicken the smoothie, and is best frozen. It is also a source of potassium which increases metabolism.

Ingredients

    Raspberries, 8 raspberries
    Blueberries, frozen (unsweetened), .25 cup, unthawed
    Maple Syrup, 3 tbsp
    Banana, fresh, 1 medium (7" to 7-7/8" long)
    Almond Butter, 1 tbsp
    Kara Dairy Free Original+Calcium Coconut Milk, 400 ml

Tips

Fruit can be changed depending upon availablilty. I only use organic berries as they are high in pesticides otherwise. I use the almond butter to add calcium and magnesium to the drink, this is especially beneficial if you suffer from headaches or PMT. It also makes it more flavourful and filling.


Directions

Place all ingredients in a high power blender, and blend until combined and smooth. Frozen fruit makes for a colder and more refreshing smoothie.
