Maya's Purple Smoothie

As a jogger, I often make a smoothie after a jog to re-hydrate and get some vital nutrients (calcium, potassium etc) in. Berries in particular are extremely rich in antioxidants, fiber, and vitamin C.

Since my green smoothie seems to be one of the more popular posts on this blog so far, I thought I'd share another colour variation of this smoothie. Enjoy :)

1.5 cups raw baby bok choy, chopped
1 cup cold, sweetened soy milk

1 medium banana, peeled & sliced
1/3 cup blueberries
1/3 cup raspberries
1/4 cup blackberries
2 tablespoons chia or flaxseeds

Mix everything together in a smoothie mixer, and enjoy :)
