Cancer Fighting Breakfast Smoothie

There’s nothing faster than a morning smoothie and, with the right ingredients, it can be a cancer fighter, too. The rich color of blueberries comes from anthocyanins, natural antioxidants that neutralize free radicals. For variety, try adding mango or kale to your smoothie. These foods have cancer-fighters of their own.

1 very ripe banana 
2 cups frozen fruit/berries
