Strawberry Camu Camu Smoothie With Activated Barley

Happy Friday everyone!  Today I have a smoothie recipe paired with the health benefits of 2 of the recipes ingredients!  Check out this Strawberry Camu Camu Smoothie with Activated Barley!

1 1/2 C Coconut Milk
1 Frozen Banana
10 Frozen Strawberries
1/2 t Camu Camu Powder
1 Heaping T of Sun Warrior's Activated Barley

I wanted to put greens in this but didn't have much left in the house this morning.  I will have to get more this weekend because I am going to seriously challenge myself to do a smoothie each morning - at least 5 times a week - Monday thru Friday - starting today!

I know pretty weird to start on a Friday!  And don't get me wrong!  I do my fair share of smoothies but the challenge to myself is to be more consistent with them.  I tend to go in spurts.  And I LOVE my greens but I need to up that amount and smoothies are an easy way to do that!

Why Activated Barley?

Barley has high concentrations of age fighting antioxidants and health boosting beta-glucans. Beta-glucans improve immune function, raise energy levels without sugar spikes, and reduce cholesterol. They use a Swedish method of low temperature steam, the barley is taken to the brink of germination before packaging. This suspends the barley at the highest point of bio-energy where it contains the best mix of protein, fiber, enzymes, and the ultimate slow burning carbohydrate. It ranks low on the glycemic index, has high tocotrienol and beta-glucan levels, thousands of active enzymes, is a slow burning carbohydrate chain, provides long-term energy for any workout, and it’s the ultimate slow burning carb.

Why Camu Camu?

Camu Camu is the highest known source of natural Vitamin C!  It has powerful anti-inflammatory properties, PROMOTES EYE HEALTH, guards against brain diseases, improves mood and balances, improves muscle tone, boosts the immune system, helps prevent viral and bacterial infections, supports healthy collagen, tendons, and ligaments.  You can purchase Camu Camu HERE!
