THE BENEFITS:
Blueberries are one of the highest antioxidant rich foods of all common fruits and vegetables, protecting your body from free radicals that cause havoc on health. They have been shown to improve brain function and memory, a common complaint experienced by new mothers. Rich in vitamin C, 1 cup of blueberries provides 25% of your RDI of vitamin C, which supports immune system function, healing and collagen synthesis. Bananas are rich in fibre and resistant starch, which can both assist with balancing blood sugar levels as well as enhancing digestive health. Then there is the little hemp seed, it is a nutritional powerhouse, consisting of high protein, rich healthy omegas, vitamins and minerals. They are a great source of vitamin E and minerals such as magnesium, potassium and calcium. Amazing nutrient dense food for mother and baby which partners perfectly with the mummy smoothie ingredients.
