Inflammation Control Smoothie

Here is a great recipe for natural inflammation relief for the joints, lungs, bowels etc. Been reading studies and reports about the Corona Virus (Covid-19) and anti-inflammatory OTC (over the counter) medicines, so wanted to provide something that could be a benefit-- again USING FOOD AS MEDICINE!

Makes 1 serving (about 12 ounces)

Ingredients

∎ 1⁄2 cup blackberries or black raspberries (or 1 tablespoon black raspberry nutritional powder)
∎ 1⁄2 cup citrus or tropical fruit (e.g., tangerine, orange, mandarin, papaya, mango, guava, apricot, nectarine, etc.)
∎ 1 large collard green leaf
∎ 1⁄2-inch knob ginger root, fresh
∎ 1 leaves kale, large
∎ 1⁄2 cup pomegranate seeds (or 2 ounces pomegranate juice)
∎ 1-inch knob turmeric root, fresh (or 1⁄2 teaspoon ground turmeric)
∎ Water, for taste and texture
Directions 1. Place all ingredients into a high-powered blender. Pulse blender a few times, then blend until desired consistency is reached

​Now a warning- seeds are not for those with Crohns disease or other similar GI ailments. Please be aware of what is being advised out there and ingest what is safe for you. There are a lot of "snake oil" salesmen out there right now-- research and be sure before you use anything out of the norm. ​
