Happy New Years to everyone! I am back with another smoothie recipe inspired by one of my favorites from Tropical Smoothie Café, the Triple Berry Oat Smoothie. This copycat recipe is delicious and I swear, remaking these at home just tastes better!
This Triple Berry Oat Smoothie is packed with:
- Strawberries: protect your heart, increase HDL (good) cholesterol, lower your blood pressure, and guard against cancer. Packed with vitamins, fiber, and particularly high levels of antioxidants known as polyphenols, strawberries are a sodium-free, fat-free, cholesterol-free, low-calorie food.
- Blueberries: are believed to have one of the highest antioxidant levels of all common fruits and vegetables. Antioxidants protect your body from free radicals, which are unstable molecules that can damage your cells and contribute to aging and diseases, such as cancer.
- Flax Seed: The nutrients in flaxseed include lignans, antioxidants, fiber, protein, and polyunsaturated fatty acids such as alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), or omega-3. Consuming these nutrients may help lower the risk of various conditions.
- Cranberry concentrate: is rich in vitamin C, which helps keep your immune system healthy and functioning properly. It fights against oxidative stress from free radicals and helps kill harmful bacteria. Some studies also link low vitamin C intake to poor immune function.
- Oats: are a natural superfood because they are 100% whole grain with minimal processing, and contain vitamins, minerals and fiber. Oats are unique in that they are one of the richest sources of beta-glucan, a soluble fiber that can help lower cholesterol reabsorption.

I was just curious, how would the flavors be impacted from using frozen fruit to frozen then thawed fruit? Thanks!
