This one is full of antioxidants and vitamin C from all the berries and fresh kiwi. Did you know that one kiwi has over 100% of the recommended daily value of vitamin C? And it has a rare form of vitamin E that’s fat-free.
The three types of berries are also excellent for immunity as well since they are full of vitamin C and bioflavonoids. Eating a variety of berries is very good for you as you get a variety of antioxidants. The darker the berries , the more antioxidants they contain. You could also add some blackberries to this smoothie if you
want.
I used orange juice for added vitamin C and calcium , but you could use water or even cranberry juice if you prefer.
Tips for making this triple berry smoothie:
If you find that your frozen berries or the kiwi are too tart , you can add a little maple syrup or honey to sweeten this if needed , or any sweetener that works for your diet.
Occasionally frozen strawberries are on the tart side – so if fresh fruit is in season , you can use that instead if you prefer!
If you wanted to add more antioxidants and iron , you could even throw some fresh kale or spinach in here. It shouldn’t change the flavor , but it will change the color – it won’t be such a vibrant shade of deep pink.
You can also add chia seeds , flax seed meal , or hemp seed hearts (affiliate links) if you are interested in adding some protein and healthy fats to this smoothie. I didn’t choose to do that this time , but it’s a great option if you want this to have more staying power between meals.
This is a beautiful smoothie to enjoy whether you’re sick or well. It’s the perfect breakfast or snack.
