Blueberries: Research shows blueberries contain the highest level of antioxidants of all fruits and vegetables which helps prevent cancer and other diseases. A six year study of 16,010 elderly participants found that blueberries and strawberries were linked to delays in cognitive aging by up to 2.5 years. The fiber in blueberries helps lower cholesterol and decreases the risk of heart disease.
Oranges: The National Cancer Institute calls oranges a complete package of anticancer power.
Whey: Whey is an excellent source of high quality protein, which nourishes the brain with rich amino acids and helps decrease inflammation, which impacts all disease.

Put these beautiful foods into your blender and get ready for a wondrous way to start your day or a delicious gift during your busy day. If you like it thinner add more water or less if you like to eat it thicker with a spoon. My husband and I like to eat our shake slowly to savor each bite so we keep ours thick so we can eat it with a spoon. Yum!
