Anti-Inflammatory Smoothie

Anti-Inflammatory Smoothie

This is a smoothie I designed for myself to help reduce inflammation in the body. I can feel it's anti-inflammatory effects as soon as I drink it and I love the fact that it tastes great too. I've made this smoothie a part of my breakfast regime and sometimes throw in extra boosters such as macadamia nuts or Healthy Chef Protein to make it a complete and delicious meal.

1 cup sweet ripe pineapple, cut into chunks

1 cup water, coconut water or cold green tea

1 teaspoon chia or flaxseeds

1/2 cup ice, to blend
