what's in your smoothie?



I usually like to make smoothies in the morning when I have time, especially when I'm feeling the need for a boost. This morning's smoothie contains some pretty awesome stuff:

Strawberries: Heart protective, anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, great source of Vitamin C
Mango: one of the best sources of betacarotene, quercetin and astragalin, another great source of vitamin C, and vitamin A
Pineapple: Manganese, Vitamin C and Thiamin (again with the anti-cancer)
Peaches: Tons of Vitamin A, which is good for your eyes!
Ginger: Digestive aid which also helps to clear out mucus
Wheat Germ: Vitamin E, Folic Acid, Fiber, Omega-3, Vitamin B, iron, calcium, zinc
Bee Pollen: vitamins, minerals, proteins and amino acids, enzymes and coenzymes, as well as antibiotic, antihistamine, and antioxidant properties; great source of energy
Local Honey: builds immunity against local pollen allergies, and tastes good :-)
Apple Juice: Good for your heart, good for the fight against bad cholesterol
