Anti-Inflammatory Turmeric & Pineapple Smoothie To Soothe and Satisfy

Our recipes can be enjoyed by anyone but most especially women in pre-, peri- and post-menopause.

That’s why they contain PPFF or Protein, Phytoestrogens, (healthy) Fat and Fibre.

They’re also anti-inflammatory and based on the Mediterranean Diet.

Why PPFF?

As a result of PPFF, your body works more efficiently. 

PPFF helps to keep your blood sugar balanced and your hunger hormone satisfied. It also ensures your body is packed with nutrients and is helpful for weight management.

Furthermore, phytoestrogens can weakly mimic your body’s natural estrogen supplementing depleted estrogen receptors.

Anti-Inflammatory Turmeric & Pineapple Smoothie

This smoothie contains protein and good fats from almond milk and chia seeds. As well as that it packs a heavy nutrient punch from leafy spinach. In addition, turmeric and black pepper help with inflammation. (Although much more scientific data is needed to confirm this.)

Note: Black pepper helps curcumin (the anti-inflammatory ingredient in turmeric) to activate.

Finally, while pineapple is high in fructose sugar it also contains bromelain enzymes, which have been shown to reduce inflammation and improve digestion. (And relieve constipation!)
