Very Berry Smoothie
Description
The Very Berry Smoothie is a refreshing and nutrient-dense drink, perfect for a quick breakfast, post-workout snack, or a midday energy boost. It combines the benefits of antioxidant-rich berries, potassium-packed bananas, and omega-3 fatty acids from chia seeds. The use of milk adds creaminess and a source of protein and calcium.
Nutritional Benefits:
- Berries: Rich in antioxidants, particularly vitamin C and polyphenols, which support immune function and combat oxidative stress.
- Banana: Provides a good source of potassium, which helps regulate blood pressure, as well as carbohydrates for sustained energy.
- Chia Seeds: A great plant-based source of omega-3 fatty acids, fiber, and protein. They help with satiety and digestion.
- Milk (of choice): Depending on the type of milk used (dairy or plant-based), this can be a source of protein, calcium, and vitamins (such as vitamin D and B12 in fortified plant-based milks).
