Forest Berries And Brazil Nut Smoothie Recipe
Forest Berries And Brazil Nut Smoothie Recipe
Brazil nuts are actually the large seeds of the Brazil nut fruit. They are a good source of complex carbohydrates, protein, and omega-6 fatty acids. Guarana powder comes from the seeds of the plant and the average seed contains twice as much caffeine as a coffee bean, and also contains cardiac stimulants such as theobromine and polyphenols. Apples are a significant source of dietary fiber, vitamin C, and complex carbohydrates. A smoothie packed with these ingredients can give you energy that can last all day long.
