Nutrition For Mental Health

Blueberries are an excellent source of antioxidants, manganese, and vitamins C, K, and A. They also contain healthful plant compounds, including quercetin and anthocyanins. A cross-sectional study found that dietary intake of anthocyanins is associated with a significantly reduced risk of depression.

Ingredients

Bowls of berries, frozen bananas, protein powder, and almond milk all labeled.

Substitions + Variations

This blueberry raspberry smoothie recipe is delicious as is. Here are some changes you can make, though, if needed.

  • Protein powder: You could skip this ingredient if you really wanted to, but I absolutely love it in this berry smoothie recipe. This vanilla protein powder is my favorite!
  • Almond milk: When it comes to adding milk to your smoothie, I always recommend using whatever you have on hand. For me, that usually means almond milk or oat milk.
  • Berries: You can always use fresh berries if you prefer, but I tend to opt for frozen so that my raspberry smoothie with blueberries turns out nice and cold!

I always recommend drinking your homemade blueberry raspberry smoothie within 24 hours.

  • Fridge: Pour extra smoothie into an airtight container (preferably glass). Like I said, I recommend enjoying it within 24 hours (or so) or freezing it.
  • Freezer: Freeze leftover raspberry-blueberry smoothie in an ice cube tray to incorporate into your next berry smoothie. Alternatively, you can pour leftovers into a popsicle mold for tasty homemade berry popsicles!
