I don’t know about you but I like my smoothies thick and creamy, not watery and thin. Hence why I love using unsweetened canned coconut milk in them. It just takes them to a whole new level of creamy goodness. That’s also why I like to use frozen fruits in my smoothies. It just makes them that much creamier.
But enough about creaminess—let’s talk about this smoothie! I love the heck out of blueberries. They’re like antioxidant superheroes. And they taste amazing to top it all off. I only use 1/2 cup of frozen blueberries in this smoothie, but you could honestly use more or less depending on your preference
It is packed with enough proteins to get me through the day with tons of energy.
When I know I’ve got an intense workout that day, I’ll save my smoothie for afterwards. Not only does it give me something to look forward to, but it helps me to recharge.
I could drink this smoothie every day! There’s so much creamy flavor packed into one glass, not to mention how many nutrients in just one sip!
Even if you’re not someone who works out on the daily, you’ll love this smoothie! It’s an easy to way to get the nutrients your body needs to refuel and start your day.
All berries are good for your body, but blueberries are the best of the lot. Blueberries contain high amounts of antioxidants, which bless them with fat-fighting properties.
The nutrients in them help to boost your metabolism, and make your body more efficient in buring calories. They have a low glycaemic index; which means that they will satisfy your sweet tooth without adding extra sugar in your body. Even studies have shown that people who consumed blueberries daily had better shot at belly fat loss than those who did not.
