It’s berry season! This breakfast looks complicated but isn’t. You’ll be rewarded with luscious nutrition of fresh berries and almonds. If you have a blender or food processor, in 5-minutes your high-anti-oxidant treat can be ready! Powerful compounds in berries such as anthocyanins, quercetin, and vitamin C help to reduce inflammation and oxidative stress from free radicals. Almonds are an important source of protein and fiber, while being naturally low in sugar.
You’ll need a food processor, small blender, or immersion blender with cup. Serves one. Enjoy!
