Anti-inflammatory Smoothie

by Julie Watson

This anti-inflammatory smoothie (pear, ginger, turmeric, greens, vitamin C) has a slight kick for digestion with the ginger. The cucumber and pear balance the digestive fire and add cooling properties that can be great for warmer weather or after a post-workout sweat.

• ­­­­½ or more inch slice ginger
• ¼ – ½ inch slice turmeric (or ½ tsp ground)
• 1 carrot
• 1 pear
• 3-inch cucumber slice
• Juice of ½ to 1 lemon
• Small handful of almonds
• Handful of spinach
• 7-10 mint leaves
• Protein power
• Splash water or orange juice

I like to occasionally add a generous pinch of cardamom or cinnamon. You can add a greens powder to this if you like. If you have issue with the pea-green color, skip the spinach.

Enjoy!
