Where are all my blueberry lovers at!?
In my opinion, you just can’t go wrong with blueberries! They are perfectly sweet and so good for you!!
Blueberries are known to be one of berries with the highest antioxidant levels which helps your body to fight free radicals. They are also very high in vitamins and fibre which will help you to feel fuller for longer, which makes this berry an ideal ingredient for breakfast smoothies! So you seriously have got to try this Blueberry Banana Protein Smoothie!
You may also want to check out this reel on my Instagram page where I share one of my favourite kitchen hacks to help keep berries fresher for longer in the fridge! Blueberries can last up to 4 weeks and still taste so fresh and perfectly sweet!
There are 5 simple ingredients that make this smoothie so darn good:
BLUEBERRIES → Blueberries are an incredibly nutritious, low calorie berry that is high in antioxidants! They are very low in calories but packed with nutrients that help benefit the body. Plus they taste so good!
BANANA → Bananas are a super healthy fruit that is high in potassium, fibre, vitamin C and antioxidants! They promote healthy digestion as well as heart health.
SPINACH → Spinach is a low-calorie leafy green that is packed with vitamins and nutrients like magnesium, iron and vitamin A, C and E which all help to support a healthy immune system.
PROTEIN POWDER → Protein powder is a great way to get extra protein into your diet! They are generally easy for the body to digest and can be quickly absorbed to help keep you feeling full and satisfied for longer.
WATER → Water is one of my favourite liquids to use in a smoothie. It helps to keep you hydrated and doesn’t overpower the yummy ingredients like the blueberries and banana that are used in the smoothie.
With all this talk about blueberries and bananas, I think its about time we skip down to the recipe!
