BLUEBERRY SMOOTHIE
You can throw just about anything in a fruit smoothie to enhance its flavor such as honey, tofu, jams, any combination of fruits, peanut butter, juices, etc., but keep in mind it will effect the nutritional values.
1/2 bag of frozen blueberries 2 tablespoons blueberry preserves 7 or 8 ice cubes 1 1/2 cups of soymilk 1 banana
This is super easy. Just toss everything into a blender, switch to the highest setting, and let fly until you stop hearing ice cubes crunching and everything is fairly smooth.
There are an infinite number of variations on this using different combinations of fruit and jam.
You might also consider adding protein powder, ground flax seed, or any other supplement that strikes your fancy.
It's best to wait until near the end, and just blend long enough to mix the protein powder of whatever in.
You can also substitute apple juice for the soymilk to create a tangier concoction.
Blueberries, along with other colorful fruits and vegetables, test high in their ability to subdue free radicals. These free radicals, which can damage cell membranes and DNA through a process known as oxidative stress, are blamed for many of the dysfunctions and diseases associated with aging.
