Anti Inflammatory Mango Breakfast Smoothie (vegan friendly)
I’ve been indulging a lot these last few months…hopping around from one delicious destination to another.
The thing is, a big part of the reason that I enjoy travelling so much is because it offers the opportunity to discover and sample new cultures and their foods! And I love doing it without thinking too much about whether they are good for me or not. No guilt!
But who are we kidding, I’m no spring chicken (I’m OK with that, I’ve made my peace with it). At some point the body starts sending me reminders…I am so not OK with that! LOL
Thankfully some small changes usually do the trick to get rid of the sluggishness and aches.
This smoothie is one I concocted about a year ago, after searching for healthy breakfast options on Pinterest.
I’ve been making it often in the last couple of weeks and I think it has really helped. The anti-inflammatory properties of turmeric are a real thing. Also with only naturally occurring sugars and no animal fats or products this smoothie is simply good clean eating.
Plus, it’s easy on the tummy and tastes mild and light.
Give it a try!
