Tropical Turmeric Smoothie that Fights Inflammation
By Claire Georgiou, Reboot Naturopath, B.HSc ND
This is a sweet tropical blend that is simply delicious! The mangoes are not in season here in Australia anymore but over the warmer months I bought so many that I froze a heap of cheeks for later (that’s a useful tip for you too!). The passion fruits are simply divine at the moment so it was a great time to combine all of this wonderful, vibrant fruit and enjoy it with a high dose of anti-inflammatory turmeric.
