Anti-inflammatory beet smoothie
This vibrant beet smoothie combines sweet and earthy beets with berries, banana, and orange juice for a balanced taste. Look for packaged cooked beets, which are sold in pre-cooked fruits and vegetables. Beets are rich in veratin, an antioxidant that reduces inflammation in the body. Other nutrient-rich ingredients, such as anthocyanins in blueberries and gingerols in ginger, further boost anti-inflammatory power.
