This smoothie has it all: potent cell-protecting antioxidants from the blueberries and acai; probiotics from the kefir, and high-quality protein and vitamin C from the HealthFX Whey Advanced. While you might think vitamin C is one of the easiest nutrients to get in your diet, a USDA study showed up to 23% of Americans aren’t getting enough.1 This tasty treat provides a hefty 1670% of your daily requirement.

I love getting your email messages - one question - the Anti-Aging Smoothie uses blueberries and Kefir - I have read recently that combining blueberries with any dairy destroys their antioxidant activity. Is there some difference if it is fermented as kefir?
