Anti-inflammatory and cleansing banana, pineapple, chia and turmeric smoothie
Now that the hot weather is coming, we feel full, and we may suffer from stomach and intestinal troubles due to holidays and excessive eating.
Turmeric is a plant whose active ingredient, curcumin, has a powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effect. Among other uses, it has traditionally been used to treat digestives problems.
In our Turmeric Curcumin Complex we have combined it with black pepper, whose main ingredient, piperine, increases turmeric absorption, along with ginger, whose anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effect acts in synergy with it.
Today, we suggest an enjoyable way of taking this supplement in the shape of a smoothie, along with fruit and seeds, to relieve intestinal discomfort and to cleanse the liver.
We recommend taking this supplement with food, so it could be a good option for drinking at breakfast or with your afternoon snack.
This Nutralie article provides you with a recipe to make your smoothies even healthier, to give you more benefits and a touch of colour.
