Blueberries are low in calories, high in fiber and help reduce the risk of chronic disease. Studies show that blueberries can also improve heart and brain health. The cashews not only lend a velvety texture but also provide a dose of healthy fats and essential minerals, while the juicy blueberries infuse a burst of natural sweetness. These healthy and delicious ingredients come together in this smoothie with the addition of mint leaves, a squeeze of lime juice and a pinch of sea salt.
