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!
