Tropical Anti-Inflammatory Smoothie

7/30/2014

Inflammation is that loud neighbor above you who keeps blasting techno beats at 2am (on a MONDAY) or the one who vacuums at 6am (on a SUNDAY)... NOBODY wants that neighbor. 

Nobody wants to deal with inflammation either and one too many of us do. Inflammation in the body can be something as simple as headaches to as something as complex as cancer. I've struggled with many inflammation symptoms, including digestive issues. If there are two superfoods that have made a HUGE difference in the process of healing, it is turmeric and ginger. They both contain strong anti-inflammatory and detoxifying properties. 

Turmeric and ginger are both very bold on the palette but when combined with sweet tropical flavors like carrot juice, banana, and coconut, your taste buds and the rest of your body will be thanking you.

Not to mention the gorgeous color of this smoothie will remind you of a scenic sunset on the beach in the tropics....

Blend together 1 banana, handful of frozen mango, small knob of ginger, few dashes of turmeric, carrot juice ice cubes (or aprox. 1/8 cup of carrot juice & add a few more ice cubes), 2 Tbsp of shredded unsweetened coconut, coconut water (or regular) ice cubes, and water.

    Welcome!

    I’m Brittany and this is ME. I’m a health nerd with a sarcastic sense of humor, a smiling/laughter problem, and a niche in the kitchen. I have a passion for fitness and cooking because together they changed my outlook on life. Live for the moment and do what you love: that’s what’s important. I kick a** in Pilates/Barre and the kitchen because it’s what makes me happy, it’s what I’m good at, and I LOVE it.
