As you know, I’m a big fan of smoothies, but if I want a little more substance, I will opt for what I’ve started calling a “Smoothie Bowl.” It’s a mix between a smoothie and a bowl of oatmeal.
The one I’m going to share with you today is delicious and contains joint-supporting ingredients to put a pep in your step.
Some of the key ingredients for joint health in this smoothie include:
• Turmeric and ginger, which have been shown to reduce markers of inflammation.
• Chia seeds are rich in fiber and Omega 3 fatty acids, and they contain nutrients that may help with joint health, including zinc, and copper.
• Healthy fats including avocado, almond butter, flaxseeds and walnuts which provide healthy fats that keep your joints lubricated and flexible.
Here’s what you need:
