Filled with antioxidant-rich blueberries, spinach, and other nutritious ingredients, this smoothie is the perfect addition to any breakfast or afternoon snack.

This smoothie is not only delicious but also packed with nutrients that work to reduce inflammation. Blueberries are an excellent source of antioxidants and phytonutrients like anthocyanin, which have been shown to be beneficial for reducing inflammation. Spinach is a great source of vitamin K and magnesium, both powerful compounds in reducing inflammation. The almond milk, banana, and honey add a creamy texture and sweetness to this smoothie.
The key to this anti-inflammatory smoothie is in the preparation – using frozen blueberries makes it thick and creamy while also ensuring that all nutrients are preserved. Start by adding a cup of almond milk to your blender followed by one banana, a handful of spinach, 1/2 cup of frozen blueberries, and a drizzle of honey. Blend until smooth and enjoy your inflammation-fighting smoothie!
For an extra energy boost, you can add protein powder or chia seeds. Adding these ingredients can also help to keep you full for longer throughout the day. If you’re looking for something a bit sweeter, try adding a few drops of vanilla extract or cinnamon.
Be sure to drink your smoothie immediately after making it to ensure that you reap the full benefits of its anti-inflammatory ingredients. Enjoy!
