Lola Berry's antioxidant happiness smoothie
Smoothies are a brilliant way to get loads of nutritional value into one meal while keeping you feeling full and satisfied. I love this one because it’s full of the good stuff, with the blueberries giving you that hit of glucose you need to get yourself powered up and full of energy for the day ahead. They are also a great source of the antioxidants anthocyanins, which give them their blueish purple colour – these guys help to prevent cellular damage and are also anti-ageing!

Lola Berry's Paleo and Raspberry Loaf
This one’s a winner. It tastes brill and keeps really well frozen too, though to be honest, when I make a loaf I usually devour it within a day or two! The antioxidant lycopene that is found in raspberries does a great job of helping to protect and repair the skin from sun damage (though you’ll still be wanting to slap on that organic sunscreen!).

Lola Berry's healthy Paleo Brekkie Loaf
It’s no secret that I love sweet things, especially at brekkie time. This loaf is so good because it really feels like you’re eating cake for breakfast, though it’s actually grain free and just so happens to be paleo too! A slice or two of this will have you all powered up and ready to go, with the eggs giving you a whack of protein and the banana acting as a great source of complex carbohydrate and delivering a big hit of the B vitamins you need to get energy into the body.
