Blueberry Tahini Protein Smoothie

Are you looking for a smoothie that’s not just delicious but also medicinal? This Blueberry Tahini Protein Smoothie combines ancient wisdom with modern nutrition science to create a powerful healing blend that tastes amazing.

The Healing Power of Food

Blueberries: Nature’s Brain Food

Blueberries aren’t just tasty – they’re packed with anthocyanins that support cognitive function and memory. Research from the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry shows that these tiny berries can help protect against oxidative stress and inflammation.

Tahini: The Forgotten Superfood

This Middle Eastern staple brings more than just creaminess. Rich in calcium, healthy fats, and lignans, tahini supports bone health and hormone balance. A study in the Journal of Nutrition found that sesame seeds (tahini’s main ingredient) can help reduce inflammation markers.

Cinnamon: Beyond Flavor

This warming spice isn’t just for taste – it helps regulate blood sugar levels. According to research published in Diabetes Care, just 1/2 teaspoon daily can significantly improve insulin sensitivity
