Nutritional Benefits

Smoothies are a nutritious way to boost fiber intake, aiding digestion and satiety, while facilitating the absorption of essential vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. They improve nutrient absorption and increase fruit and vegetable consumption, supporting overall health.

Cherries – rich in antioxidants, particularly anthocyanins, which contribute to their vibrant color and have anti-inflammatory properties. Cherries may help reduce inflammation, alleviate arthritis symptoms, and promote heart health by lowering blood pressure and cholesterol levels. Additionally, they contain melatonin, aiding in better sleep, and provide a good source of vitamins and minerals

Persimmon – are healthy due to their rich nutrient profile, offering vitamins A and C for immune support, fiber for digestion, and manganese for bone health. They also contain antioxidants, such as beta-carotene and lutein, contributing to overall well-being. Additionally, persimmons provide natural sweetness without high-calorie content, making them a nutritious and satisfying fruit choice.

Medjool dates – add natural sweetness and offer antioxidants, such as flavonoids, supporting overall well-being.
