Found at the Daily Juice in Austin, Texas, the Subliminator Smoothie is chock-full of blueberries and cherries, which provide flavonoids—key in thwarting the production of free radicals and cancer-causing cells.
The brew also calls for a dose of your choice of protein powder. Try whey to promote the growth of lean muscle ($28 per 12 oz., teraswhey.com), brown rice for easy digestion ($30 per 17.6 oz., sunwarrior.com), or hemp for a wallop of nine essential amino acids, plus omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids ($19 per 16 oz., nutiva.com).
