High Energy Antioxidant Smoothie

The holidays are fast approaching and you feel the pressure to maintain your weight or even lose. You are running around and feel as if your energy is running low. We are all looking for healthy snacks that taste good, are good for us, give us fuel, boost energy and enhance immunity as we are preparing for the events ahead.

Blueberry smoothies are filled with valuable antioxidants. The question many ask is "What are antioxidants?" To explain simply too many free radicals in our body cause tissue damage and can lead to cancer, heart disease and even autoimmune disorders. Antioxidants actually help prevent free radicals from forming and even balance them out in your body. This in turn can help prevent early aging and the diseases like cancer and heart disease that many worry about.
