This Anti-Inflammatory Mango Turmeric Smoothie is almost too tasty to be an anti-inflammatory solution. It is rich in taste and in its healing properties.

What you need

1 cup frozen mango

1 banana (fresh or frozen)

1 cup unsweetened coconut or almond milk

½ tablespoon of chia seeds

½ teaspoon ground turmeric

½ teaspoon ground ginger (or grate some fresh ginger in, if you have it)

½ teaspoon cinnamon

A couple of dashes of ground black pepper

What you do

Soak chia seeds in the milk for about 10 minutes before making the smoothie. This softens the seeds and creates a thicker base for the smoothie. However, it isn’t necessary, and seeds can be added directly into the smoothie without soaking.

Put all ingredients into a smoothie and blend well.

Enjoy as an afternoon snack or as a meal on its own!
