Cancer-Fighting Breakfast Smoothies

Cancer-Fighting Breakfast Smoothies

There’s nothing faster than a morning smoothie and, with the right ingredients, it can be a cancer fighter, too. For variety, try adding mango or kale to your smoothie, which have cancer fighters of their own.

Recommended

1 very ripe banana (the riper the banana, the greater the antioxidants)
2 cups frozen fruit/berries
