"    Photo: Getty Images   Each month, ELLE.com wades through the web in search of the best guest bloggers. In honor of our June Body Issue (starring Kerry Washington and on newsstands now), we tapped Alexia Brue and Melisse Gelula, the founders of WellandGoodNYC.com, to bring us their fitness and nutrition expertise. Today&amp;#039;s installment: a blackberry smoothie from Well+Good&amp;#039;s mixology team.  Blackberries tend to live in the supermarket shadow of splashier red fruit like strawberries or raspberries, but, whether frozen or fresh, they boast an impressive array of nutritional benefits. The low sugar fruit is loaded with antioxidants that fight free radicals (excellent for apr\u00E8s-sun), lower inflammation, and even help improve memory function. (Does your 3pm Starbucks do that?)   For today&amp;#039;s smoothie, Well+Good&amp;#039;s smoothie mixologist Jennifer Kass combines that fabulous fruit with superfood goji berries (loaded with vitamin C and beta-carotene) and chia seeds (packed with omega-3 and a great source of fiber and protein). And rounding out the mix is avocado, which lends a silky texture to the drink (and a glow to your skin, thanks to healthy fats and phytonutrients). Just throw the following ingredients into a mixer, blend, and enjoy! 1 cup organic frozen blackberries (fresh come mid-July) 1/2 avocado 1 tsp bee pollen (hold off on this ingredient if you&amp;#039;re allergic to bees) 2 tbs goji berries 1 tbs chia seeds 1 1/2 cups unsweetened coconut milk Read More from the Well+Good Gals: Our June Guest Bloggers Steal Fitness Model Secrets "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
