Power-Packed Smoothie Recipes

Choosing fruits and veggies that are high in antioxidants is as easy as A, B, C: Antioxidants = Bright Colours. Think sweet potatoes, pumpkin, and beetroot, cooked for the best blending, as well as berries: cranberries, blackberries, raspberries, blueberries, and strawberries. Bright green spinach, yellow mangoes, red peppers, purple grapes – let your eyes be your guide as you shop the produce aisle.

Nuts, flaxseed, and chia seeds are high in antioxidants, but also in fats; so add them in smaller amounts: a handful of nuts, a Tablespoon of seeds. They should be added to the Vitamix container on top of all your other ingredients for optimal blending.
