Kick-start your mornings with this speedy smoothie, packed with tropical fruit flavors. Its lively yellow hue is boosted by anti-inflammatory turmeric. Grate fresh turmeric with a microplane grater or use ground turmeric in its place. Ginger provides a zesty kick, but feel free to omit it for a milder flavor.

This fiber-rich chia smoothie is sweet and tangy with a velvety texture, thanks to nutritious chia seeds that expand as they combine with liquid. Chia seeds have plenty of healthy benefits, from delivering a boost of fiber to providing a dose of heart-healthy fats. We like the combination of strawberries, peaches and cherries, but any sweet and tangy fruit combo will work.

Anti-Inflammatory Cherry-Spinach Smoothie

This healthy smoothie is not only delicious—it also provides 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, 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.
