Welcome to my journey of making one healthy snack per week for the year! I decided on embarking on this culinary journey for two reasons.

The first was to lose weight, I’m still around 165 lbs. after giving birth 😐 my pre-pregnancy weight was 140. My little is finally starting to sleep longer stretches and am I ready to focus more time on me!

The second is for my little! She will be starting solids in a few months and having an arsenal of pre-taste-approved snacks seemed like a good idea!

So on that note, welcome to Week One!

This week is an Antioxidant Paradise Smoothie and it’s refreshing! The maqui berry adds such a delicious tartness and I sweetened mine up with a little raw honey. 🐝

Some of the my favorite health benefits of this smoothie are: high in Vitamin C, good for heart health, helps aid digestion, anti-inflammatory effects, and it’s packed full of antioxidants!

Recipe:

• 2 cups frozen strawberries
• 1 1/4 cup mango
• 1 1/2 cup pomegranate juice
• 2 tablespoons maqui powder
• 1/2 cup water
• Sweetner of choice (to taste)

Blend and enjoy!
