Pineapple & turmeric anti-inflammatory smoothie

17 December, 2015

So you’ve read about the health benefits of turmeric, but not sure how you can use it? Here’s a smoothie recipe that uses it in the most refreshing way while offering lots of health benefits!

Turmeric would have to be one of Mother Nature’s best gifts! With uses from detoxing the body, lower inflammation and support healthy immune system.

Pineapples contain the digestive enzyme bromelain, a natural enzyme that supports the digestive system in breaking down and absorbing nutrients from the food we eat.

1 cup diced pineapple
1 tsp turmeric powder or freshly grated
1 tbsp chia seeds
1 tbsp shredded coconut
1/2 lime, peeled
1 cup water or coconut water
Optional: maca powder
A dash of black pepper (it sounds weird but necessary to help with the absorption of curcumin in turmeric)

Blend all ingredients together and enjoy!
