2. Blueberry, banana and mint smoothies
Blueberries are total superfoods. They’re packed with antioxidants and are believed to boost the immune system as well as improve brain function such as memory retention, learning and motor skills. Keep in mind that fresh, frozen or freeze-dried blueberries are more nutrient-dense than those that have been cooked, canned or bottled as sometimes they lose nutrients during those processes. This yummy smoothie is packed with the little blue superfood, and it’s gluten-free!
