  Very Berry Morning Smoothie Deliciousness

 What you will need:

  

 

 ½ c. frozen organic berries (blueberries, raspberries, etc)

1-2 c fresh berries

½ tsp dehydrated bee pollen (vitality, energy and health)

1-2 tsp freshly ground flax seeds

5-10 walnuts (almonds)

1 tsp organic coconut oil

2-3 oz liquid to blend (coconut milk, almond milk, water)

1 tbsp of whole fat yogurt (optional

Whey protein powder (optional-great for meal replacement)

 

Throw everything into your Vitamix or blender and add enough liquid, to enable contents to blend smoothly!  This yields one 1 smoothie or 2 small smoothies. Enjoy xo

In honour of  BREAST CANCER AWARENESS MONTH, here are some great foods to help prevention and stay strong and healthy!

Cruciferous vegetables: Broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, Brussels sprouts, bok choy and kale contain many anti-cancer substances, such as isothiocyanates.

Tomatoes: Lycopene is a very strong anti-oxidant, which may prevent various types of cancer.  Aim for at least 3 servings/week.

Berries: Especially blueberries, which deliver a high concentration of antioxidants that help prevent cell damage that occurs naturally with age. Slowing age-related cell damage helps prevents cancer and other diseases.

Onion family: This includes- garlic, leeks, scallions and shallots, will deliver multiple compounds shown to have anti-cancer qualities.

Eating with Colour: Adding servings of red, yellow, orange, white or purple vegetables to the usual greens maximizes a person's chance of getting all the micronutrients that could potentially help fight off cancer.
