Wild Blueberry Power



After a couple months of packing, moving to our new home and settling in, I'm back with some new recipes! It has been a crazy busy time for us, especially in the mornings when I am rushing to get the kids up and to school on time. This smoothie recipe is a go-to for me, as it takes only a few minutes to prep and I can take it out the door with me!

I call it my Blue Mama Super Smoothie, as it stars frozen wild blueberries and it's great for moms on the go! Did you know that wild blueberries contain twice the antioxidant capacity of cultivated blueberries? Yes, these little berries are packed with antioxidants, which, in a nutshell, are vitamins, minerals and other nutrients that boost your immune system and reduces the risk of many diseases.

The other ingredients include banana - a great source of potassium, almond milk and vanilla protein powder - necessary protein, cinnamon - great for your heart, and ginger - which promotes energy circulation in your body and so much more!

This smoothie is so good for you, tastes amazing AND will leave you fueled for the busy day ahead!  To learn more about the goodness of wild blueberries, visit www.wildblueberries.com
