Marionberry Crumble Smoothie

Enjoying berries on a regular basis is so important for our bodies, and on so many levels.

Berries are packed with antioxidants, as well as antiinflammatory compounds, that have been shown to support heart health, reduce risk of certain types of cancer and Parkinson’s, reduce muscle soreness, boost metabolism — and even delay cognitive decline by as much as 2 ½ years (source: Harvard Nurses’ Health Study http://bit.ly/2kxAXak).

So don’t fall for all of that fruit hate out there — whole fruit, including berries, comes perfectly packaged up with fiber, which helps your body handle the natural sugars.
