IMG_5200

Coconut milk offers some uncontested creaminess and decadence to any dish – and it works perfectly in this smoothie. Frozen banana contributes sweetness as well as even more smooth texture. This recipe is free of any added sugars – a few drops of liquid stevia takes care of that without increasing your blood sugar levels. Enjoy!

Blackberries: are packed with the antioxidants anthocyanins, which prevent inflammation and destroy free radicals that lead to cancer. They are also a great source of ellagic acid, an antioxidant shown to protect skin from sun damage and lessen the appearance of wrinkles. The powerful berry also contributes to heart health, eye function, bone strength, diabetes prevention, and digestive tract health.
