The Raven Smoothie

The New Antioxidant Smoothie



























Açai (Euterpe oleracea)The South American palmberry likely new to most North Americans, açai (“ah-sigh-ee”) is a nutrient-rich berry best known for its dark blue color, intense fruity flavor and rich antioxidant content from phytochemicals called phenolic anthocyanins. Delicious and exotic, we use acai for taste and antioxidant strength.














Preliminary evidence suggests that drinking concentrated pomegranate juice may reduce cholesterol. Israeli researchers, published a small clinical study in June 2004 in Clinical Nutrition, suggested that drinking a glass of pomegranate juice a day for one year reduced blood pressure (particularly systolic pressure) and slowed down LDL cholesterol (the bad cholesterol) oxidation.

Pomegranate fruits contain polyphenols, tannins and anthocyanins - all are beneficial antioxidants. Interestingly, pomegranate juice contains high levels of antioxidants - higher than most other fruit juices, red wine or green tea.











Much of Blueberries health benefits comes from antioxidants called anthocyanidins, which can neutralize free radical cell damage and help ward off age-related memory problems, cataracts, glaucoma, varicose veins, hemorrhoids, peptic ulcers, dementia, heart disease and cancer.
Rutgers University researchers have also found that epicatechin, another highly active antioxidant phytonutrient found in blueberries, can help to prevent urinary-tract infections.
Plus several studies show that blueberries may even be able to improve your eyesight.
But Blueberry benefits don't end with antioxidants. They're low calorie, (a measly 81calories per cup), high fiber food that has been proven to help boost your immunity and detoxify your body.

Importance of Being Earnest

Theatre Atchison is bringing a delightful romantic comedy to the stage this spring, Oscar Wilde’s The Importance of Being Earnest. Set in 1890s London, the show is full of mistaken identity, misunderstandings and hilarious situations. Using the pseudonym Ernest, Jack Worthing runs off to London to visit his beloved Gwendoline anytime he chooses, leaving behind the obligations of his dull life in the country. His best friend Algernon, has also created a second identity named Ernest, allowing him to sneak to the country to meet Jack’s ward, the beautiful Cecily. All runs smoothly until Jack and Algernon, both masquerading as Ernest, end up with Gwendoline and Cecily at Jack’s country estate. It immediately becomes obvious that there are both too many and too few Ernests to be earnestly courting!

Making special cameo appearances in the show are local Atchison celebrities: on Friday, April 18 is Todd Gigstad; on Saturday, April 19 is Jacque Pregont; on Sunday, April 20 is Bill Murphy; on Friday, April 25 is Rachel Lehcar; on Saturday, April 26 is Kent Wohlgemuth; and on Sunday, April 27 is Russ McCort! Make your reservations today! Performances of The Importance of Being Earnest are Fridays & Saturdays at 8:00 p.m. and Sundays at 2:00 p.m. Tickets for adults are $10, for students $6. Theatre Atchison Season Members are reminded to take advantage of free childcare during the performance on Saturday, April 19 and free beverages during intermission. Please make reservations for childcare in advance. Tickets and childcare may be reserved by calling Theatre Atchison’s box office at (913) 367-SHOW (7469)
