Cashew Chocolate Blueberry Smoothie

This chocolate blueberry smoothie recipe is a delicious feel-good pick-me-up. The simple recipe combines cashew milk, frozen blueberries and yogurt with a touch of cocoa powder and a few drops of Stevia. If you’d like an extra boost, you could also add a teaspoon of ground flaxseed, for extra antioxidants, fiber, and omega-three fatty acids.

When I Was a Kid on “The Island”

When I was a kid growing up on Long Island, we had wild blueberry bushes all over the yard. My brothers and I would pick the berries right off the tree and just pop them into our mouths, if the birds, didn’t get them first! Now, decades later, here I am writing about a blueberry smoothie recipe and realizing how lucky we were to have such a delicious, healthy fruit at our fingertips.

Another Reason to Love a Blueberry Smoothie Recipe: It’s Good for the Brain

Berries are very nutrient-dense, a one-cup serving contains RDI (Recommended Dietary Intake) 4 grams of fiber, 24% of vitamin C, 36% Vitamin K, 25% magnesium, and small amounts of many other micronutrients. And there are only 84 calories in 1 cup of blueberries.

Also, blueberries are believed to have one of the highest antioxidant levels among all fruits and vegetables. Antioxidants protect your body from free radicals—those unstable molecules that can damage cells and contribute to aging.

The most interesting thing about blueberries, though, is they may maintain brain function and improve memory. I know that sounds like a heavy lift, but studies support this. They’ve done animal studies on antioxidants and blueberries, and the effects on your brain. They appear to benefit aging neurons, leading to improvements in cell signaling. That’s another reason to love this blueberry smoothie recipe.

A Blueberry Smoothie Recipe Is the Best Way to Eat Blueberries!

I’ve always loved, blueberries, frozen or fresh, but for this particular drink I think frozen works best. Let’s get into this recipe!
