Having a great tasting smoothie in the morning is an awesome way to kick-off the day. When that smoothie is good for you to boot, that is even better! An easy way to get in some much needed nutrients and to make a smoothie taste great is to add in both strawberries and apples.

Apples are very high in Vitamin C and are an excellent source of antioxidants. Apples also contain Vitamins B6, Thiamin, Riboflavin, Calcium, Phosphorous, and Potassium. These help to maintain a healthy nervous and cardiovascular system. Don’t forget that apples have a lot of dietary fiber that is needed for having great digestive health.

Strawberries are also a great source for Vitamin C and just one cup gives you a 100% to get you through your day. This increases your body’s immunity system helping you to fight off illnesses. Strawberries contain anthocyanins, a class of flavonoids, that helps to prevent heart disease. Strawberries can also help to naturally lower blood pressure and decrease the risk of cancer.

Blendtec Total Blender

I love my Blendtec! We actually have two… one in Florida, and one at our home in New York State. The Florida model is more basic, the model we use at home is top of the line. They both have their pros, and I absolutely recommend a Blendtec to anyone in the market for a new blender!

Please consult a physician if you have any questions about juicing and smoothies so your doctor can better explain to you the benefits, possible side effects, and any warnings about juicing and smoothies.
