Health | Rockin’ Raspberry Ginger Smoothie
Hello my Smoothie and Juice loving friends. Tomorrow is Friday!
I know the weekend has already started for many of you, but for those of you who are still hard at work!
Have a juice!
Speaking of the weekend….Don’t forget Sunday is Mother’s Day!
Make sure you give a special hug, or shout out to that special Mom, Grandmother, Sister, Friend!
Mr. Bird and I will be heading out for a short road trip this weekend! I’ll be sharing some of our healthy road trip foods with you tomorrow, so be sure to stay tuned!
Aren't they lovely?
It’s juice time!
Today our Spotlight ingredient is the Raspberry! Raspberries are a tasty fruit with many health benefits.
- Help with weight loss- high in fiber they slow down the digestion process, making you feel fuller longer
- A great anti-wrinkle fruit! High in vitamin C!
- Macular Degeneration- By having 3 servings of raspberries per day, raspberries can be a natural remedy to this serious degeneration of the retina.
- Raspberries are full of antioxidants, an ellagic acid which stops cell membrane damage, thus preventing some bacterial and fungal infections . Some studies have even shown Raspberries contain cancer resistant properties.
- Especically good fruit for pregnant and lactating mothers! Reducing nausea during pregnancy and increasing milk production post pregnancy. Raspberry teas made from the raspberry leaves work to help regulate menstrual cycles.
