Pineapple & Turmeric Anti-Inflammatory Smoothie

So you've read about the health benefits of turmeric, but you're not sure how you can use it? Here's a smoothie recipe that uses it in the most refreshing way while offering a host of health benefits! 

Turmeric would have to be one of Mother Nature's best gifts! With uses from detoxing the body, lowering inflammation and supporting a healthy immune system. 

Pineapples contain the digestive enzyme bromelain, a natural enzyme that supports the digestive system in breaking down and absorbing nutrients from the food we eat.

• 1 cup diced pineapple
• 1 tsp turmeric powder or freshly grated
• 1 tbsp chia seeds
• 1 tbsp shredded coconut
• 1/2 lime, peeled
• 1 cup water or coconut water
• Optional: maca powder 
• A dash of black pepper (it sounds weird but necessary to help with the absorption of curcumin in turmeric)
