Love your Berries

Why berries are a girls best friend..





















Health Benefits Berries
The antioxidants in berries can help your body fight oxidative stress caused by free radicals that can lead to illness. Eating a diet rich in antioxidants can help improve your health, protect your skin and hair, and prevent certain diseases. All fruits and vegetables contain antioxidants, but nutrient-rich berries are some of the absolute best sources.
There are several powerful antioxidants that appear in berries, including anthocyanins, quercetin, and vitamin C. Anthocyanins give berries their vibrant color, reduce inflammation, and may help prevent and manage arthritis. Anthocyanins work together with quercetin to help slow age-related memory-loss. Quercetin can also decrease the inflammatory effects of chemicals in the synovial fluid of the joints for people with inflammatory conditions like rheumatoid arthritis.
Vitamin C is another strong antioxidant found in berries. It is largely responsible for the health of collagen, which helps maintain cartilage stores and aids in joint flexibility. Eating vitamin C–rich berries will contribute to radiant skin and healthy hair.

In addition to antioxidants, berries are “juicy foods,” which means they contain mostly water. Juicy foods are great for losing weight because they fill you up quickly, since their high water content bumps up the volume while driving down the calories. Berries also contain fiber and folate. Fiber aids in weight loss and helps lower cholesterol and blood pressure. Folate may protect against cardiovascular disease and age-related memory loss, and since folate contributes to the production of serotonin, it may also help ward off depression and improve your mood.

So love your body by loving berries!!!

Blueberry Coconut Icecream

Hi lovelies! I hope you are all doing well and having a wonderful day. 
I have been craving some vegan icecream for a while now. So when I got home from the farmers market last saturday I immediately started experimenting with all the delicious fruits I bought. This blueberry coconut cream is a real winner!! I just can't get enough of it so I have been eating this as breakfast, snack and dessert for the past few days! LOL! Supereasy, Superfilling, SuperYUMMY!






















Blueberry Coconut Icecream
What you need
1 cup frozen blueberries
2 frozen bananas
1 cup coconut water
5 tbsp coconut flakes

What to do
Mix all the ingredients together in your foodprocessor or blender and pulse until you have this lovely thick and creamy consistency. Scoop into a little bowl and place in your freezer for 10 minutes. This gives you the time to prepare the topping. Think; berries, goji, chia, buckwheat, coconut flakes, hemp, mulberries & cacao nibs.
After 10 minutes take out your icecream and top with all the goodies.

Enjoy!

Love,
Sanne
