Blend everything until smooth and enjoy a power house of protein and antioxidants. Berries are more than just tasty, low-calorie treats. They pack a powerful nutritional punch. They are high in fiber and potassium, which is important for proper cell functioning, and they contain many cancer-fighting phytochemicals.
