This deliciously healthy smoothie is made with blueberries, walnuts, almond milk, and chia seeds, guaranteeing a nutritional boost to your day. Once school goes back into session, the next thing in store is usually shared colds and sneezes. During the start to flu season it\u2019s a good idea to increase your intake of antioxidants to help out the immune system. Blueberries have some of the highest amounts of antioxidants found in any food, and hence this smoothie. It\u2019s a breakfast that both kids and adults can enjoy before rushing out the door in during a busy morning.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Immune-Boosting
\nBlueberries may be small but they have earned the title of superfood. Besides their high antioxidant count, the berries are anti-inflammatory, and high in potassium and vitamin C. They are beneficial to both your brain and heart health. Fresh or frozen berries can be used for this recipe, though if you use frozen berries there is no need for the ice cubes. I am becoming more and more grateful that I was able to pack fresh blueberries away in the freezer while they were at their peak this summer. Now I can just pull out a handful whenever I\u2019d like to make a smoothie such as this.<\/p>\n

Chia seeds are also added to the smoothie. They are a concentrated source of omega-3s and are bursting with calcium and fiber. Again, great things come in small packages. Walnuts share the same nutritional qualities as chia seeds, and are also added to the recipe. Maple syrup adds a bit of sweetness \u2013 you can adjust the sweetness of the smoothie to your personal taste \u2013 and cinnamon adds the spicy flavoring of fall. Almond milk is the liquid that I used, although coconut milk would work just as well. You can adjust the thickness of the smoothie by adding more or less milk depending on your personal taste.<\/p>\n
