STRAWBERRY FIELDS FOREVER SMOOTHIE

Oh John Lennon, I wish!  But I am certainly grateful every time strawberry season arrives!

Strawberries are a blessing for the body and mind as well as the taste buds.  They are loaded with fiber and vitamins & minerals including vit C & K, folate, manganese, and potassium.  Strawberries are also rich in amazing phytonutrients like anthocyanins that are believed to help burn fat, boost memory, build bone health, reduce inflammation, and stave-off cancer and cardiovascular disease!

For 2 servings, blend until smooth:

• 1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen strawberries (option to add ice if using fresh berries)
