Antioxidant Super Smoothie..Mix and Blend These Powerful Fruits For a Longer Life!

Antioxidant Super Smoothie

Ok, here is a smoothie amongst smoothies. In fact I would go as far as saying it's the Queen of smoothies.

Well, if we believe scientists at the University of Strasbourg, who invented, or created this amazing life-saving drink, then perhaps the claims are justifiable.

Here are seven fruits that make a potent, exotic cocktail blend that could be a lifesaver. Now if there are any graduates in fruitology then you will recognise all the fruits, however do not worry if you don't, most of them will be familiar to you.

The less recognisable (and exotic) fruits included are the acerola. Red in color it is cherry-like, but very powerful, containing 30 times more vitamin C than orange juice.

Also the lingonberry, also known as the cowberry. It is a cousin of the cranberry, and is a tart, red fruit popular in Sweden. I always buy a pot of lingonberry jam as a treat whenever I visit Ikea!

Also on the A-list of fruits is the aronia, aka chokeberry. This has been described as the healthiest berry in the world, and is an American blackberry.

This antioxidant super smoothie will not only taste good, but it is claimed to boost health, minimise the risks of strokes and heart disease.

The common thread with the fruits are compounds called polyphenols that are found in them. Polyphenols have been shown to protect the heart and help prevent arteries getting 'clogged-up'.

The Super Smoothie..Just How Good Is It?

In the laboratory tests, analysis of thirteen different juices and purees were used for their effects on pigs arteries. However the finished recipe was finally chosen after eighty (human) volunteers were tested.

The result was that heart artery walls became 'relaxed' when the fruit juice cocktail was exposed to them. If artery walls are relaxed and open in humans, then ultimately the blood flow to the heart would be boosted, and in turn would receive a healthy balance of oxygen and nutrients.

What About The Antioxidants?

Interestingly, the study discovered that there were some polyphenols that seemed to be more potent compared to others. And their ability to soak-up those nasty free radicals was more important than the polyphenols in the individual fruit.

This adds more weight to the fact that it is better to consume a spectrum of antioxidants as opposed to just one or two. They will work better and be more effective if taken together (synergistically).

What Ingredients Are In The Antioxidant Super Smoothie?

Pop into a blender, add a dash of natural Greek yogurt or any fat-free probiotic yogurt to thicken, and maybe a few ice cubes. Mix and blend. Drink immediately.

Final Words and Thoughts

This research really shows or highlights the fact we should all be eating a balance of fruit and veg to help reduce the risk of heart disease and being healthier.

Just be aware that this super smoothie will only count as one of your five-a-day. This is because juice contains more sugar and less fiber than the original fruit. So you can't cheat with this one!
