Blueberry and Coconut Water Smoothie

What can I say.....if there was a competition for the most healthy drink, this would probably get first prize...and the second...and the third...It would also receive an honorary award for being extra healthy. Blueberries are often hailed as one of the many super-foods found in nature. They are packed with antioxidants (the highest level of any fruit) and will help fight against certain types of cancers (especially colon cancer). They are also excellent for maintaining good vision (especially night vision). The coconut water (not to be confused with coconut milk) is also amazingly healthy, containing potassium which is good for keeping our blood pressure in check. Did you know that in some developing countries coconut water is also used as an intravenous fluid where medical saline is unavailable!!! Coconut water is also a natural isotonic so it re-hydrates your body just like a sports drink. If you are feeling under the weather or tired, drinking this amazing drink can revive you and help you feel energised. Finally, this drink contains tahini (sesame paste) which is packed with minerals such as calcium, iron and copper. The copper is important for people with arthritis or stiff joints.

Note that although the drink is nut free it contains the water from a coconut and the sesame paste which is made out of sesame seeds.

You will need a blender or a food processor to make this smoothie.
