Anti-inflammatory Smoothie
What's great about it
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.

Use homemade almond milk in place of water.
Add a sprinkle of macadamia nuts or a spoon of coconut butter to add essential fatty acids and reduce inflammation.
