This anti-inflammatory smoothie contains both turmeric and ginger – two roots famously known for their anti-inflammatory properties. Adding a pinch of black pepper helps to ensure that the turmeric is absorbed. Are you ready to become a smoothie master in 2017?

All of the amazing healthful ingredients in this healthy anti-inflammatory smoothie are simple enough, yet when combined they have a unique bubblegum taste. You will love it.
