Summer fruits are coming into season and there are no more flavorful and easier to eat fruits than berries. Whether they be blueberries, strawberries or raspberries, they all pack a ton of nutrition in their little berry bodies. Eating a cup of fresh berries, a day when they're in season provides potassium, magnesium, vitamins C and K, fiber, and prebiotics—carbohydrates that help promote a healthy gut. Here’s a great berry smoothie recipe:
Ingredients
1 1/2 cups apple juice can also use almond milk, skim milk, coconut milk or another flavor of juice
1 banana sliced
1 1/2 cups frozen mixed berries
3/4 cup vanilla Greek yogurt
1 tablespoon honey optional
Optional garnish: fresh berries and mint sprigs
Instructions
• Place the apple juice, banana, berries and yogurt in a blender, blend until smooth. If the smoothie seems too thick, add a little more liquid (1/4 cup).
• Taste and add honey if desired. Pour into two glasses and garnish with fresh berries and mint sprigs if desired.
