Turmeric Ginger Pineapple Smoothie
With cold and flu season in full force, I like to give my body a little extra insurance from illness. I try to incorporate turmeric( which is found with your spices in any grocery store) and ginger into my daily diet. I start my day with this smoothie. Both turmeric and ginger have anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant properties. I like to feed my body with superfoods early in the day so I have energy throughout and am not fueling with empty calories. You can substitute the pineapple for mango, peaches, or oranges. We were just gifted a bunch of Florida oranges so I will use them for a nice vitamin C kick. This is a general outline of the smoothie I make. Depending on the day or what I have on hand, I may add a small scoop of goji berries, flax seed, hemp seed, or sprinkle of cinnamon- there are many easy superfoods to add to your smoothie- it is up to you what you may have or want to include.
Ingredients
Fruit of choice- this week I am using 1 orange- peeled, but typically, use a 1/2 C of pineapple
1 t of turmeric
A thumb sized chuck of fresh ginger - peeled
1 t of cinnamon
1/2 C of Coconut Milk or Almond Milk- whichever I have on hand- unsweetened
Optional- 1 scoop of collagen powder- adds no taste- just a nice supplement
I add 5 or 6 ice cubes to the blender, but that is up to you- it gives it a thicker consistency.
Add all ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth. Serve right away.
