Purple Reign Smoothie

This Purple Reign Smoothie is almost too pretty to sip. And even better, it sneaks in a serving of antioxidant-rich red cabbage, which adds to this drink’s stunning shade, without making it task too, well, cabbage-y. The cabbage is blended with tangy kefir, sweet-tart blueberries, and chia seeds, which supply ample amounts of fiber and heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids.

Ice Picks

When local options are out of season, consider budget-friendly frozen fruit your secret weapon for more nutritious smoothies. Because they’re frozen shortly after harvesting, these fruits can be more nutrient dense than fresh fruit that is grown thousands of miles away from your home and transported.
