Super Berry Smoothie: Dairy-Free Recipe

In terms of cancer prevention through nutrition, whole fruits and vegetables seem to offer the best defense.

The cancer risk for Americans who eat the recommended amounts (five servings) of fruits and vegetables (especially dark green, leafy vegetables, and red, orange, and yellow fruits and vegetables) on a daily basis is 50 to 70 percent lower than for those who consume the least fruits and vegetables.

As this Super Berry Smoothie recipe shows, a healthy breakfast can be quick, easy, low-fat and ideal for anyone on the go.

INGREDIENTS
1 cup vanilla soy milk
½ cup apple juice
1 cup blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, or sliced strawberries
1 ripe banana
1 cup crushed ice

Combine all ingredients in blender and puree till smooth. Serve garnished with berries or slices of banana.

I regularly drink berrie and banana smoothies using Whey protein. Very good to keep your GI tract cleansed!! I don't drink milk of any form; however don't mind adding apple juice or other fruit juices. Great share!!

It sounds great but even healthier without the sugary juice!!! I use ice cubes instead. Thanks
