Nothing like a little berry delight to do a body good. Smoothies are so easy to make, and the best part is you can add or subtract ingredients.

This fruit smoothie consists of 5 ingredients, and provides 2 fruit servings:
1 medium size banana
1/2 C strawberries (organic if available)
1/2 C blueberries
1 T flax seeds (grind them prior to adding if time permits), and
Fresh, cold water to desired consistency.
Natural sweetness will vary depending on fruit ripeness.

Variations: Substitute cold kefir, low-fat yogurt, soy milk, or milk v. water.
You can also add chopped ice while blending for a brain freeze.

This drink is high in potassium, and vitamin C and phytochemicals.
Some powerful antioxidants found in plant pigmant include: anthocyanin, and lycopene. Anthocyanin is the blue in blueberries and lycopene is the red in strawberries.
