These lovely drinks promote health and help protect us from aging... and they taste really good too!
Blueberries 蓝梅 belong to the Ericaceae family of flowering plants whose other members include the bilberries and cranberries. They are packed with nutrients and flavor, yet very low in calories. They are antioxidant powerhouses, which are important because they neutralize the free radicals that our body produces as part of the aging process. Scientific researches also show that blueberries are effective in promoting cardioprotective action, similar effects as red wine. In addition, they promote functions of the brain, improve vision and protect against macular degeneration, colon cancer and ovarian cancer, etc. For more info on this great food, please refer to this WHFoods website.
To prepare a Blueberry Milkshake 蓝梅果汁奶昔... simply wash 20 blueberries and put them into a blender with 200 ml of cold hi-low (high calcium low fat) milk and some ice cubes. Blend well and voilà, a nice icy blueberry milkshake is ready to go with strawberry pies... :p
A variation from this drink is Blueberry Yakult drink 蓝梅益多果汁... Yakult 益多, needless for me to say, contains live probiotic strains of good bacteria called Lactobacillus casei Shirota, that help neutralise some of the more harmful substances of digestion. They also help to discourage potentially harmful bacteria from setting up home within our gut. This drink is one quick and easy step in enjoying the numerous health benefits blueberries and Yakult bring - Simply wash 20 blueberries and put them into a blender with 200 ml of cold water, a little cold hi-low milk and some ice cubes. Blend well and mix in one little bottle of unflavored Yakult and here you have a nice icy healthy drink for the grandpas, grandmas and the little ones in a hot afternoon day, enjoy...
