Blueberry Basil Smoothie

A gelato inspired smoothie. Rich in antioxidants and quiet refreshing. Great for breakfast or dessert! The blue in blueberries comes from anthrocyanidins, powerful antioxidants and are also high in vitamin C, and contain manganese, vitamin E and B1. Basil is a digestive aid and can help relax smooth muscle. #postworkout
