Berry Good

Even if you get up on the wrong side of the bed, you can still start your morning off on the right foot with a Super Berry Smothie. Excerpted here from Beyond Botox, a new healthy-skin guide from Ben and Howard Kaminsky, founders of the skincare line B. Kamins Chemist, the easy-to-make concoction is chock-full of antioxidants, protein, complex carbohydrates, the good kind of fats and many other key nutrients that will help get you through a hectic day.

Ingredients:

1/2 cup calcium-fortified soy milk

1/2 cup nonfat yogurt

1 cup fresh or frozen "Super Berries" (use any combination of blackberries, black raspberries, wild blueberries, blueberries, raspberries, strawberries and cherries without pits to equal one cup)

1/2 cup chopped or crushed pineapple (in natural juice, drained)

1/2 banana

1 tablespoon flax oil or freshly ground flax seed

2 ice cubes

Put all ingredients in a blender or food processor and process until smooth. The recipe makes two medium snack servings or one large mealtime serving.
