What are the Best Ingredients for an Anti-inflammatory Smoothie?
1- Yogurt for anti-inflammatory smoothie recipes
Usually, I switch between using plain yogurt and greek style yogurt. Although both are good, Greek-style yogurt is thicker and delicious. On the other hand, you can’t use it for weight loss smoothies. But it gives a yummy texture to our anti-inflammatory breakfast smoothies recipes.
2- Fruit base for the smoothie recipe
I love to use all kinds of fruits. The most flavourful fruits for smoothies are bananas, mangoes, berries, pineapple, and kiwi. For this purpose, I stock fruits in large batches and freeze them in ziplock bags. You can give it a try and have fun too.
3- Best Vegetables for making anti-inflammatory diet recipes
There is no better way of consuming these veggies than to add to smoothies. Vegetables like spinach, kale, cauliflower, sweet potato, zucchini, beets, peas, carrot go well with our taste preferences. So I always have an extensive stock of all veggies. Besides, these frozen vegetables give an extra texture to our anti-inflammatory breakfast smoothies recipes.
4- Protein base for anti-inflammatory smoothie recipes
Naturally, the smoothie goes well with some thickeners. Like yogurt, we can add chia seeds, hemp seeds, almond butter, peanut butter, protein powder, kefir, oats, flax seeds.
5- Flavors and Spices
The best flavors and spices come from honey, cinnamon, dates, cyanine pepper, ginger, and turmeric. Therefore, always use them for an extra flavor.
