Powdered turmeric has been used for centuries to treat a host of illnesses. It is anti-viral, anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, a digestive aid, a blood purifier, a wound healer, a skin tonic and much more!
Turmeric however has a slightly bitter taste on it's own, but by blending it with some fruit and healthy fats, you won't even notice it's in there.
So here's a delicious smoothie that has lots of anti-cancerous and anti-infammatory properties. It's a great way to start your day, and pack your body full of antioxidants!
