Who doesn’t love a flavourful sweet smoothie in the morning that is packed with nutrients. Not only is this smoothie packed healthy nutrients like protein, potassium, and fiber but it is packed with antioxidants! Bluberries are a great source of antioxidants so I love to saturate my smoothie with them. However, the real source of antioxidants is the goji berries. Antioxidants provide anti-aging benefits and restorative properties plus they are said to decrease risk of cancer and increase the lifespan. I added a few dried goji berries to my smoothie for a rejuvenating boost plus tons and tons of blubberies. This smoothie is so healthy but truly tasty and sweet at the same time!
I absolutely LOVE this salad. It is flavourful, colourful, and it definitely inspired me to be healthier. Honestly I never liked or wanted to try zucchini before, but I am glad I did. It adds a simple sweet flavour to balance out the tangy lemon, and the juicy tomatoes. This takes hardly any time to make which leaves more time to enjoy the food. All you have to do is slice up a bunch of ingredients and throw them in a bowl. I was inspired to make this salad when I saw a picture on Pinterest (follow Chef Material on Pinterest) and the minute I saw it I knew I had to recreate it. The salad I created for you is made to be simple and refreshing. If you find yourself eating lots of heavy, salty, or sugary foods, this is a great salad to refresh your pallet give you a nutrition boost. *See bonus recipe at the end* Continue reading
