1.) Blueberries are great for getting an extra serving of fruit into your daily diet and they’ll give you a boost of antioxidants to help fight off free radicals and keep your immune system strong.

2.) Collagen Peptides are a great addition to your smoothie or morning coffee. This fine white powder dissolves into any beverage and is tasteless, while bring lots of benefits to your body. A few of these include bone and joint strength, healthy hair and increases skin elasticity.

3.) Cacao Juice (from Repurposed Pod) is full of potassium and magnesium to keep your heart health and brain function at their best!

I was recently introduced to the company mentioned above. As I looked into their product and read the story behind what they’re selling, I was amazed! Most people hear “Cacao” and think chocolate. While that is where chocolate comes from, its not the only yummy treat that can be harvested from the fruit. Farmers have been repurposing the cacao pulp and turning it into a sweet and fruity tasting juice! Now, instead of it being thrown away, we get to enjoy this delicious drink AND reap the health benefits.

Head over to their website to check out more of their story, and find tons more recipes!

 

Thanks always, for reading! I hope you enjoyed this recipe, happy Monday:)
