Blueberry and Flax Seeds Smoothie (immunity boosting)

As I promised, I started today a nice and healthy detox and immunity boosting diet... Had to... I felt that my body is slow, tired and needs a kick of good healthy energy.
So, every day you will be able to see my journey between healthy and also tasty smoothies....
I start with a blueberry and flax seed (romanian: seminte de in) smoothie... So tasty, guilt free and takes just a few minutes to make...No excuse not to...

What you need ( for two people):


- 120 gr frozen blueberries (I froze mine last summer...I love to buy fresh fruits and freeze them to have a healthy stock during winter But you can find frozen ones at the supermarket too.)
- 1 banana
- 170 ml low-fat plain yogurt
- 1 filled tablespoon of flax seeds
- 1 tablespoon of honey



How to make it:

1. Combine all ingredients in a blender. Blend until smooth.

And now, let me give you some scientific info about berries and flax seeds: berries are boosting with anti-inflammatory and disease-preventing antioxidant. They contain very little calories ( less than 100 calories in 250 grams).
Flax seeds are maybe one of the rare plant sources of Omega 3. They contain fiber and phytoestrogens, which fights cancer.
