Valentines Raspberry Smoothie

Print Recipe
From "Healing Foods" book by Neal’s Yard Remedies. Depending on the time of year, you might have to use frozen raspberries for this recipe. That’s OK since it’s a smoothie, and you need a frozen component to make it a smoothie, frozen raspberries will do the trick instead of ice. The antioxidant-rich raspberries, blueberries, and coconut water help to rehydrate the body and reduce feelings of fatigue. Plus the pistachio nuts, cardamom seeds, and concentrated rose in the rose syrup are said to keep love on your mind.
