Anti-Inflammatory Smoothie

I love to incorporate turmeric into our diets because it is a powerful herb to say the least. It makes food a pretty color, so it isn't hard to get your kids to eat these options!

Ingredients

  • 1 ripe banana
  • 1 ½ cup unsweet coconut milk
  • ½ cup ice
  • 2 teaspoon chia seeds Get organic chia seeds here
  • ½ cup fresh pineapple
  • 2 teaspoon turmeric paste
  • 1 teaspoon whole flax seed
  • 1 -2 teaspoon honey or maple syrup optional

Cherry "Nice" Cream

  • 1 frozen banana
  • 1 cup of ice
  • 10 cherries pitted and frozen
  • ½ cup frozen raspberries
  • Cherry for garnish

Instructions

Smoothie

  • In your Nutri-bullet or blender place all ingredients (I like to put coconut milk first so nothing sticks to the sides of the blender).
  • Blend until you get a smooth consistency.

Nice cream

  • Place all ingredients in your Nutri-bullet or blender
  • Blend until you have a smooth consistency.
  • Pour the smoothie in a glass and top with the nice cream.
  • Garnish with a cherry if desired.

Notes

*Tips- To get your nice cream to set on top without sinking freeze smoothie just until it starts to freeze and get thick, then top with nice cream.
*Always buy good quality organic turmeric. If you buy cheap not only is it irradiated, but it may possibly not be 100% turmeric, and therefore you will not receive the benefits.
*"Nice"cream is optional. If you want to make it, a couple of hours before making smoothie place peeled banana, cherries, and raspberries in the freezer.
