Sometimes, throwing random stuff in a blender yields delicious results. That’s how I came up with this delicious Cherry Berry smoothie, which is also equally nutritious. A great source of fiber, cherries are loaded with vitamin B and C, manganese, potassium and rich in antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Blending them with greens, berries, seeds and supplement powders, this rich, deep purple concoction has it all! It’s a great way to break your fast or as a mid day or pre-workout elixir.
