Banana-Blueberry Smoothie

By Nava Atlas

Blueberries are one of the most antioxidant-rich fruits available, making this a supercharged way to start your day. For most of the year, fresh blueberries are not available, so organic frozen blueberries are a good substitute. You need not even thaw them before using.

1 medium banana, broken into several pieces
1 cup blueberries (organic, fresh or frozen)
1 tablespoon maple syrup or brown rice syrup
6 to 8 ounces vanilla soy yogurt or crumbled silken tofu
1 cup white or red grape juice, or other juice of your choice

Combine all the ingredients in a food processor or blender and process until smoothly pureed. Or place in a container and process with an immersion blender. Serve at once in tall glasses.

Makes 2 or 3 servings
