There are several flavor combinations, like Berry Banana Cauliflower and Mango Ginger, to help get you out of a smoothie rut. 01 of 11 Anti-Inflammatory Cherry-Spinach Smoothie View Recipe his healthy smoothie is not only delicious--it also boosts your daily dose of anti-inflammatory foods. It starts with a base of creamy gut-friendly kefir and includes cherries, which can lower the inflammatory marker C-reactive protein. Heart-healthy fats in avocado, almond butter and chia seeds deliver additional anti-inflammatory compounds to the body, while spinach offers a mix of antioxidants that sweep up harmful free radicals. Fresh ginger adds zing, plus a compound called gingerol, which preliminary studies suggest may improve inflammatory markers of heart disease if consumed daily. 02 of 11 Spinach-Avocado Smoothie View Recipe This healthy green smoothie gets super creamy from the frozen banana and avocado. Make ahead (up to 1 day) and store it in the fridge until you need a veggie boost. 03 of 11 Berry-Banana Cauliflower Smoothie View Recipe Sneak in your veggies with a smoothie every morning.
