Tips and Substitutions

Add a date if you prefer a sweeter-tasting blackberry smoothie.

Add an extra splash of soy milk to help with blending or for a slightly thinner texture that still stays creamy.

For a unique twist on this blackberry smoothie, try adding 3 basil leaves when blending. The basil completely transforms the flavor but still tastes amazing, giving you a refreshing new version with all the same nourishing benefits.

I love both versions equally, but if it were summer and I had fresh basil in my garden, I’d definitely be adding it! Totally optional, but worth trying when you’re craving something unique and just as tasty.

Fun Fact: Blackberries are rich in anthocyanins, the powerful plant compounds that give them their deep purple color and antioxidant strength. These antioxidants help protect cells from oxidative stress and support a healthy inflammatory balance.

Blackberries are also exceptionally high in manganese, a key mineral that supports antioxidant function. This is especially important for anyone with SNPs in the SOD enzyme (superoxide dismutase) since manganese is the essential cofactor that allows the enzyme to function properly.

Chia seeds provide omega 3 fats that complement the antioxidants in blackberries, making this smoothie a delicious way to fuel your body with both flavor and function.
