Nourishing Anti-Inflammatory Smoothie Bowl – A Healthy Start of The Day

Bursting with flavours and goodness, this anti-inflammatory smoothie bowl is really invigorating. It makes the perfect breakfast or midday pick-me-up.

You can use fresh or frozen fruits for it and I recommend you load it up with as many toppings as you can. I listed a few ideas in the ingredients.

This recipe makes two portions so you can keep one in the fridge in an airtight container.

I have been suffering from inflammation pain for many years. It was at its worst when I lived in New York. Go and figure, at the time I lived on alcohol, cigarettes, diet soft drinks and a low fat / high carb diet! When I started eating less meat, I noticed my aches and pains became less and less frequent. I looked further into it, realising that meat consumption actually promotes inflammation. Another reason for me to embrace the flexitarian diet!

Now, I would be lying if I told you that going flexitarian has sorted all my inflammatory problems. But I have now more good days than bad days, and the bad days are not nearly as bad as they used to be.

Exercise helps too of course. Yoga, pilates, swimming, walking .. or whatever you like to do, you do need to keep those joints, muscles and ligaments moving. I have recently discovered Yin Yoga and cannot recommend it enough. It is doing wonders for me, especially as I have been suffering from serious back pain since the beginning of January.

Long-term chronic inflammation is linked to heart disease, arthritis and cancer. The good news is that there are many foods out there with proven benefits and we should all make sure to include them in our diet.

Why You Will Love This Recipe

  • Nutrient-Dense – Packed with antioxidants and anti-inflammatory ingredients to support your health.
  • Deliciously Creamy – The perfect blend of fruits and greens for a smooth and satisfying texture.
  • Quick & Easy – A simple recipe that can be made in just minutes for a quick breakfast or snack.

Key Anti-Inflammatory Ingredients

For this anti-inflammatory smoothie bowl, I have used:

  • Spinach: Packed with antioxidants
  • Beetroot: Rich in betalains, compounds known for their anti-inflammatory properties
  • Berries: High in anthocyanins, which reduce inflammation markers
  • Pineapple: Contains bromelain, an enzyme that aids in reducing swelling
  • Ginger: Gingerols in ginger have powerful anti-inflammatory effects
  • Turmeric: Curcumin in turmeric is a potent anti-inflammatory compound
  • Chia seeds: Excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids for fighting inflammation

Foods That Can Trigger Inflammation

While adding anti-inflammatory foods to your diet is crucial, it’s equally important to minimise foods that can cause inflammation. Here are some common culprits:

  • Refined Sugars: Found in sodas, candies, and baked goods. They spike blood sugar and promote inflammation.
  • Processed Meats: Such as hot dogs, bacon, and deli meats. They contain harmful preservatives and saturated fats.
  • Trans Fats: Often found in fried foods and some baked goods. They increase bad cholesterol and inflammation.
  • Excessive Alcohol: Can lead to increased inflammation in the liver and throughout the body.
  • Refined Carbohydrates: White bread, pasta, and pastries can cause rapid spikes in blood sugar.

I hope you enjoy this anti-inflammatory smoothie bowl recipe as much as I do. If you make this recipe, don’t forget to tag me on Instagram!
