Zingy Pineapple & Turmeric Smoothie
This refreshing immune supportive smoothie is packed with valuable nutrients. The pineapple, ginger and turmeric provide vitamin C and manganese crucial for brain health.
Whilst the chia seeds add protein to keep us full, gut loving fibre to support digestion and omega 3 fatty acids which can help with inflammation.
Best of all, the coconut milk and oil give it ‘Pina Colada’ vibes!
