Perfect Vegi Breakfast Shake

The flavonoids in blueberries help protect and strengthen the walls of the blood vessels and capillaries throughout the body and improve nocturnal vision.

Now that frozen wild blueberries are widely available year-round in supermarkets, this shake would be an ideal vegetarian breakfast or snack.

Blueberry Blast Shake

375 ml (1 1/2 cups) purified water

250 ml (1 cup) frozen blueberries

2 medium or 3 small frozen bananas, cut into chunks

30 ml (2 tbsp) raw almond or cashew butter

15 ml (1 tbsp) raw honey or agave nectar

In a blender, place water, blueberries, bananas, nut butter and honey and blend on medium until smooth, 30 to 45 seconds. Expect tiny bits of blueberry skin throughout this shake.

Serve in glasses.

Makes 2 servings.
