Name: Homemade Banana-Berry Smoothie
Ingredients: 1 medium-size or large, ripe banana; 1/2 cup frozen blueberries; 4 fresh or frozen strawberries, hulled; 1 cup milk; 1 teaspoon honey; 2 or 3 ice cubes if desired

You can make this smoothie year-’round because it contains frozen fruit. The ripeness of the banana is important here: if the banana is more starchy than sweet, your smoothie will taste dull. Blueberries and strawberries are packed with anthocyanadins, the antioxidant compounds that give them their blue and red colors, and they’re a very good source of vitamin C, manganese and fiber, both soluble and insoluble. Bananas are also a very good source of vitamin C and manganese, as well as potassium, fiber and vitamin B6. Add the protein and calcium in the milk, and you’ve got a meal.
