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.
Ingredients
- 1 very ripe banana (the riper the banana, the greater the antioxidants)
- 2 cups frozen fruit/berries
- 1 cup almond milk or soymilk
Directions

Combine the ingredients in a blender. Start your blender on the lowest setting and slowly crank it up as the smoothie starts to purée, then blend for 2 minutes.
