Blackberry Piña Smoothie

8/7/2014 0 Comments
 
After my most recent post of Fluffy Gluten-Free Pancakes with Blackberry Sauce I needed something light and clean to cleanse my body. Something raw and vegan usually does the trick. I opted for a smoothie as it is one of the easiest meals on your digestive system. It was a rare occasion where we were out of fresh and frozen bananas so I reached for what I had and came up with a delicious new recipe that I think you'll truly enjoy!

A Blackberry Piña Zen Smoothie! Refreshing to the core with an instant boost of feel good energy.

You can feel even better while drinking it knowing that Blackberries:
  • Are full of Vitamin C
  • High in Vitamin K
  • Rich in Bioflavonoids
  • Have one of the highest antioxidants levels among fruits
  • Can promote the healthy tightening of tissue
  • Can provide a more alert brain
  • Are high in Tannin which can reduce intestinal inflammation, alleviate hemorrhoids and soothe the effects of diarrhea
  • The high levels of astringent tannin are effective in oral hygiene when used as a mouthwash (another reason for a smoothie!)
  • The leaves have been used on inflamed gums and sometimes sore throats and as a tea
​
I'll drink to that!

For fun I thought I'd share the evolution of the smoothie. The first picture started out as featured above.

Then Jerry added some input with the purple towel and rock! I saw my moms painting and decided to add it in for a Smoothie by the Beach!

Then I saw all of my happy plants near the window and decided to add them into the mix creating a Zen Smoothie.

Enjoy! :)
