Anti-Inflammatory Smoothie
Equipment
- 1 blender
Ingredients
- 2 cups mixed berries frozen (swap them for any single berry of choice)
- 1 lemon squeezed (replace it with lime juice if you want)
- 5.3 oz keto yogurt I used Ratio, the flavor must be either coconut or vanilla. For a dairy-free or vegan smoothie, use dairy-free yogurt. NOTE: It contains probiotics so it is anti-inflammatory!
- ¼ cup unsweetened coconut milk OPTIONAL. Only add it if you prefer a less concentrated or less creamy smoothie! For a creamier smoothie, add 1 small frozen banana but only if you are not on a keto diet.
- 2 tablespoons granulated stevia or good-quality raw honey if you're not on a keto diet
- 2 teaspoon chia seeds You may use flaxseeds instead
- 2 tablespoons ginger root peeled. NOTE: If you prefer, you can either replace it with peeled turmeric root or add it 1-2 tablespoon as an extra anti-inflammatory ingredient. If using turmeric, make sure to add a pinch of ground black pepper to enhance curcumin absorption. According to some research, combining the piperine in black pepper with the curcumin in turmeric increases curcumin absorption by up to 2,000%. Curcumin has strong antioxidant, anti-carcinogenic, and anti-inflammatory properties!
- ¼ cup fresh mint leaves If you don't enjoy mint, you can use lemon basil instead, or skip it and add an extra ½ lemon
Instructions
- Blend all the ingredients in a blender until smooth and creamy. Do NOT strain!
- Then, pour it into 2 glasses filled with ice cubes and enjoy!
