Blueberry is one of the richest
food sources of natural antioxidants. This fruit has high amount of oxygen
radical absorption capacity (ORAC). Orac is a measure of food’s ability to
neutralize free radicals and protect the body from ageing. The ORAC level in 100 gram of blueberries is 4669 Mol Te. Our body need about 5000 Mol Te ORAC per day. A glass of fresh blueberries smoothie can provide you ORAC level that your body needs in a day. Besides, the protective
antioxidants in blueberry do not change when we frozen the fruits. So we can use
fresh or frozen blueberry to make smoothie in all year round. In this post I
list my 3 simple and fast blueberry smoothy recipes. These recipes are easy to
make and good to your health.
