Berry Smoothie

There are so many different berries that can be combined with any number of different ingredients to make unique tasting smoothies. Berry smoothies are very nutritional, containing vitamin C, vitamin E, antioxidants, and a lot of other nutrients as well. Berries combine with everything from milk, to orange juice and with so many berries to choose from, inventing a different smoothie recipe is simple. 

· Blueberry - high level of antioxidants and may be considered most nutritional berry.

· Raspberry - sweet taste along with vitamin C, vitamin E, and a good weight loss supplement

 Berries provide natural sweetness, instead of sweeteners, add more fruit, for a healthier smoothie.
