Spring time Healthy Smoothie recipe and the health benefits of each ingredient.

So been drinking these bad boys for a while now.  So I thought I'd share up a wee recipe.

Ginger, Turmeric, Coriander, Kale,  Cucumber, Mango and Coconut Water.   Blitz in my Nutri Bullet until smooth.   Absolutely tastes divine.

The Ginger and the Turmeric are a natural anti inflammatory so that's helping with my arthritis in my knees.  

Coriander is a dense rich antioxidant herb which lowers blood sugar, reduces blood pressure,  improves gut health.  It's high in vitamin A, B and K which supports immunity and skin health.  

Kale is a calorie cruciferous vegetable packed with vitamins A, C, and K, along with potent antioxidants, fiber, and minerals like calcium and potassium. It supports heart health, aids in cancer prevention, boosts immunity, promotes eye health, and helps with digestion and bone strength.

Cucumbers, which are over 95% water, primarily hydrate the body, aid in digestion, and provide essential nutrients like Vitamin K. They support weight management due to low calories, promote skin health, help regulate blood sugar, and offer antioxidant protection.

Mangoes are nutrient-dense fruits that boost immunity, improve digestion, and support heart and skin health due to high levels of vitamins A and C, antioxidants like mangiferin, and dietary fiber. They act as a, healthy energy source to aid digestion and provide potassium to help regulate blood pressure.

Ginger is a powerful natural remedy that primarily aids digestion, reduces nausea, and fights inflammation throughout the body. Its active compound, gingerol, provides antioxidant benefits that protect cells from damage and may improve heart health by managing cholesterol and blood sugar levels.

 Turmeric contains curcumin, a powerful compound known for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, which help reduce joint pain, improve heart health, and potentially lower the risk of chronic diseases. It aids digestion, helps manage metabolic syndrome, and is commonly used to ease arthritis symptoms and support overall immunity.

Coconut water is a nutrient-rich, low-calorie natural beverage that provides excellent hydration, essential electrolytes (potassium, sodium, magnesium), and potential cardiovascular benefits. It supports kidney health, aids digestion, and serves as a natural alternative to sugary sports drinks, with approximately 45–60 calories per 8-ounce serving.

Honey acts as a natural antioxidant, antibacterial, and anti-inflammatory agent, offering therapeutic benefits like soothing coughs, aiding wound healing, and improving heart health. It serves as a healthier alternative to refined sugar, providing trace minerals and enzymes while helping regulate blood sugar and improving gut health.

So all in my smoothies a packed with good juju for the body and soul.  I have noticed some improvements so far.   In a couple
uple weeks I'm going to switch it up a bit.  So I'll blog more then....

Thanks if you read this far I hope it helps.

For some reason I can't get the photos to go the right way up.  Sorry guys.  If anyone knows how to fix that please let me know....
