Anti-Inflammatory Smoothie Recipe

coconut water

🥗Healthier: filtered water

💰Cheaper: tap water

Filtered water is hydrating and reduces costs.

almond milk

🥗Healthier: oat milk

💰Cheaper: regular milk

Oat milk is creamy and often less expensive.

chia seeds

🥗Healthier: flaxseeds

💰Cheaper: sunflower seeds

Flaxseeds provide similar health benefits at a lower cost.

pineapple

🥗Healthier: mango

💰Cheaper: canned pineapple

Canned pineapple can be more affordable and convenient.

Cut up the pineapple, keeping the core if you have a strong blender.

Save any juice that collects from the pineapple as it's good for you.

Add a handful of spinach to the blender.

Add chia seeds to the blender for omega-3s.

Add a bunch of cherries to the blender.

Pour in a splash of tart cherry juice for sweetness and inflammation reduction.

Add water to the blender if not using tart cherry juice.

Blend until smooth, using the wand if you have a Vitamix or pulsing if using another blender.

If you want a slushy texture, use frozen pineapple instead of fresh.

Blend longer if the mixture is still pulpy or seedy, especially with berries.

Pour into a glass and add frozen bananas or more frozen berries for sweetness if desired.
