This smoothie makes a nourishing and energizing snack rich in vitamins, antioxidants, and fiber—and my family likes it.  Photo by Andrea Parrish - Geyer (CC BY-ND 2.0) Blueberries, one of the richest sources of antioxidants around, are also a good source of fiber, which has been shown to improve digestive health and prevent constipation. Blueberries also have useful amounts of vitamin C, potassium, calcium, and magnesium, and raspberries contain calcium, fiber, and folate. Berries contain powerful antioxidant phytochemicals that decrease inflammation.
