Vibrant Super Green, Superfood Smoothie
Simple green smoothies an easy way to start a day, or an amazing afternoon snack. The apple gives it just a little bit of sweetness and the avocado makes this smoothie so creamy and delicious, you’ll love it. Adding turmeric and ginger adds some fire to the belly along with a million other benefits.
Today we hero the ingredient turmeric. Here are a few reasons why:
-
It's a natural anti-inflammatory
-
It increases the antioxidant capacity of the body
-
It contains curcumin - which has been linked to improved brain function. Fun fact (and I'm aware this is perspective based), curcumin is fat soluble so having it alongside ingredients high in fat *thanks avo 🥑* and a crack of black pepper increase absorption into the bloodstream
Why are they so great?
-
Ready in five minutes
-
Great way to get your five-a-day in
-
Everything in life taste better with a straw
-
They look beautiful (yes that’s a reason) 💚
-
Turmeric is a real superfood hero
