Smoothies are a great breakfast substitute, or any meal substitute, for that matter. This Paleo Blueberry Dream Smoothie is Paleo diet-compliant, gluten-free, dairy-free, and sugar-free.

This Paleo Blueberry Dream Smoothie is made with all-natural ingredients and is free from GMOs and pesticides. It contains only four ingredients and takes no more than five minutes to make.

Why Choose Organic Fruits and Vegetables

Many toxins lurk in the fruits and vegetables at your local grocery store. You may think that washing your fruits and vegetables before eating them reduces your exposure to these toxins. Unfortunately, you’re wrong!

The reality is that modern farming is built around using genetically modified organisms (GMOs), pesticides, and herbicides to mass-produce food. Moreover, the use of antibiotics and growth hormones is widespread and most aren’t tested for safety.

The problem is that pesticides and GMOs are linked to autoimmune disease. As a matter of fact, household pesticides are linked to an increased risk of developing Lupus and Rheumatoid arthritis.

Yet, the most significant reason to go organic is they are richer in nutrients and antioxidants. One study showed that good soil nutrition increases the production of flavonoids, which have many benefits, including antioxidant, anticancer, and anti-inflammatory properties.

Smoothies are Nutritional Powerhouses

I love a good smoothie. They are a great way to get a lot of nutrients, vitamins, and antioxidants in one serving. For example, blueberries are high in antioxidants, which reduce damage caused by oxidative stress.

Blueberries promote heart health and bone strength and can lower blood pressure and blood sugar levels. Just one cup of blueberries contains 24% of the recommended daily vitamin C.

Blackberries are also high in antioxidants, fiber, and vitamins C and K. Vitamin K is essential for making proteins needed for blood clotting and healthy bone tissue.

How to Make this Blueberry Smoothie

Just add all the ingredients into a blender and blend on high. You can substitute peanut butter for almond butter if almond butter isn’t available. However, you should check the sugar content in both. Almond butter tends to have less or no sugar than peanut butter.
