Apricot Blueberry Smoothie

My new nickname is smoothie queen lol. I seriously love making smoothie’s, playing around with new fruits, and making fruit filled goodness Yum. You can pack so much nutrition into one drink, I literally have to figure out a way to pack my blender on the plane with me when I travel lol. This is a very tasty super easy smoothie and is loaded with nutrients to fuel your morning or mid-day. Who needs a morning coffee or a toxic filled energy drink when you can actually give your self a dose of energy from the vitamins found in a smoothie.

*Apricots– Are packed with tons of good stuff including vitamin C which helps boost your immune system, fight off illness, and it help’s provide heart health find out more here. Vitamin A which forms from beta carotene(which is the orange/red pigment color found in the fruits & veggies we consume) and is super good for vision, helps build a strong immune system, and helps with making your skin beautiful Read More Here. Apricots also contain lycopene which is known to be one of the strongest antioxidants found on earth, meaning it will help fight free radicals,work wonders for your skin, and will help with damaged skin caused by excessive sun exposure.

*Blueberries- Another power house fruit is the blueberry, its so rich in vitamins and antioxidants. The nutrients found in blueberries help provide better brain health, eye sight, anti aging, as well as fight illness. They may be small but hold lots of healing properties inside of each little berry. This is definitely one of those don’t judge a book/berry by it cover/look moment’s haha.
Blueberries are also so diverse and you can do so many things with them including putting them in a smoothie, inside of fruit infused water, on top of oatmeal(raw unprocessed oats), a fruit salad, or on top of a kale salad. Have fun and do what you have to do to get as much good nutrition into your system as possible.

Ok lets make this *Apricot Blueberry Smoothie*

*Rinse, freeze your blueberries overnight (12-15 blueberries per serving)

*Add your fruit to blender

*Add 1tablespoon of your favorite sweetener ( 100% maple syrup, raw agave, honey your choice) I use syrup

*Add 1/2 cup of liquid (I used water but feel free to use a nut milk(almond, coconut etc)

*Add 1 or 2 tablespoons of Hempseeds purchase here, Flaxseeds purchase here, or Chia seeds purchase here to blender( or combine 2 of them for a extra dose of nutrition)

*Next Blend together the ingredients, pour in glass and top with Maca Powder purchase here or a seed which ever you prefer. DRINK UP 🙂 (I topped mine with raisins and maca powder I sneak in nutrition where ever I can haha)
