Orange Pineapple Berry Smoothie

Have you guys made any resolutions for this year? I never make one, but every beginning of the year I make sure I reevaluate my diet and lifestyle. Because every end of the year, around holidays I tend to fall of the wagon and eat too many cookies, cakes and high calorie food (thank you Santa!); or so it seems to me.

I may be a foodie and crafter at heart but I’m also healthy conscious and above all, I’m a mother that needs to be a role model to her daughter. She tends to copy everything I do so I figured making healthy choices and leading an overall happy, balanced lifestyle would be a good strategy to raise a kid the right way.

So I’ve decided to get back on a healthier diet and this Orange Pineapple Berry Smoothie, recipe which you’ll find below, will be a constant companion.

I’m also getting my extra dose of antioxidants from my newest crush, Superberries’ Aroniaberry Gummy Chews. Superberries is a brand of health and wellness products featuring Nature’s Healer and Protector – the Aroniaberry.

These chews are made with organic Aroniaberry Concentrate, organic sweeteners, natural flavors and colors, are gluten, wheat and dairy free. With only 100 calories per serving, these new chews are great if you are counting calories, looking for a great tasting snack or if you need a pick-me-up after a long workout. With two convenient packaging options available. Other Superberries products available are Superberries Aroniaberry Concentrate and Frozen Aroniaberries.

Many New Year’s resolutions include eating better and exercising. If these are your resolutions too, Superberries can help with both. Research has shown that consuming aroniaberries after your workouts can help muscle recovery and oxidative stress that occurs during exercise. Adding Superberries to your diet will also boost your antioxidants. Science has confirmed that diets rich in antioxidants can help us maintain good health, especially with respect to aging and age-related disorders.

Orange Pineapple Berry Smoothie Recipe

Ingredients for 2 servings:

2 cups mixed berries (fresh or frozen)
1/2 cup pineapple juice
1/2 cup chopped pineapple
1/2 cup fresh orange juice
1 cup Greek yogurt
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/4 fresh ginger, peeled and grated
1/8 tsp nutmeg
2 teaspoons honey or sugar (optional)

Directions:

Peel and grate ginger.
Put berries, pineapple, juices, yogurt, honey or sugar if you use, vanilla extract and spices in a blender. If you are using frozen berries, put those last, a few at a time to avoid getting them trapped in between the blades (or is it just me?).
Process until smooth.
Pour into 2 tall glasses.
Enjoy as a quick breakfast or a refreshing afternoon snack.
