Raspberry Smoothie Health Benefits
One medium sized orange contains about 70 mg vitamin C, which is more than 90% of the recommended daily dose for consumption. The vitamin C in oranges has also been proven to help fight off cancer by protecting the body against free radicals. Raspberries are also rich in vitamin C and antioxidants to boost immunity. For an added energy boost, the combination of soy with citrus is powerful; soy contains iron, but that iron is hard for the body to absorb, by combining iron with vitamin C the body can better process both.
