PURPLES SMOOTHIES
Drumroll please, for this berry beauty. Our purples smoothie is a natural stressbuster, containing all the good stuff that calms inflammation and aids good digestion. You’ve got banana, blueberry, blackberry, strawberry, raspberries, cranberries, apple and dates. It’s the forest fruits rolled up into one juicy wonder.
So then we thought, why not amp up the naturally calming properties found in our purples smoothie with another powerhouse fruit – cherries?! Research shows that cherry juice contains tryptophan and melatonin, which can help improve sleep. It’s also rich in antioxidants. Put it together with a purples smoothie, and you’ve got yourself a super soothing combo – the perfect non-alcoholic nightcap.
Just shake the cherry juice and the purples powder with a splash of water, sparkling water and a fresh squeeze of lime. If you want a sweeter taste, add a dash of honey. Then serve over ice and garnish with sliced lime and cherries. It’s tart, tangy and topped with tongue-tickling fizz. All that’s left to do is sit back, swirl this dark and dreamy drink to some jazz, and watch your busy day wash away.
