Antioxidant Powerhouse! Blueberry Aronia Smoothie
Best for Eye Health & Diet! The Ultimate Antioxidant Blueberry Aronia Smoothie
Hello everyone! This is Strawberry Wind. I’ve finally completed the last color of my rainbow smoothie challenge – the blue-purple smoothie! While considering blue beverages like curaçao syrup or balloon flower tea, I prioritized the original intention of a healthy smoothie. So, I chose ingredients that offer both great taste and health benefits: blueberries and aronia, true kings of antioxidants! Aronia boasts the highest anthocyanin content among berries, making it excellent for relieving eye fatigue, managing diabetes, preventing dementia, and supporting weight loss. Enjoy this delicious and healthy smoothie made with these two amazing berries!
Ingredients- 150g fresh blueberries (or 250-300g frozen blueberries)
- 50ml aronia juice
- 1 pot plain yogurt (adjust to taste)
- 200ml milk (can substitute with soy milk or almond milk)
- 1 banana (frozen banana makes it richer)
- A little ice (adjust based on desired coldness)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Prepare 150g of fresh blueberries. If using frozen blueberries, use about 250-300g for a richer and colder smoothie.
Step 2
Add the prepared blueberries and 1 peeled and roughly chopped banana to your blender. The banana adds creaminess and natural sweetness to the smoothie.
Step 3
Include 1 pot of homemade or store-bought plain yogurt. Yogurt contributes to a smooth texture, a refreshing taste, and is good for gut health.
Step 4
Pour in 50ml of homemade aronia juice, extracted from last year’s harvest. The deep flavor and abundant antioxidants from aronia will enhance the smoothie’s health benefits. Add a little ice if desired, and blend vigorously until all ingredients are smooth and well combined. Shake, shake!
Step 5
Pour the well-blended smoothie into your favorite glass. If the consistency isn’t quite right, you can add a little more milk or water and blend again.
Step 6
Finally, garnish the smoothie with a few fresh blueberries. Your antioxidant-packed ‘Blueberry Aronia Smoothie’ is complete! Thank you for joining me on the rainbow smoothie series. Enjoy! Bon appétit! ❤️
