Healing Orange Smoothie

Now I am not normally a smoothie lover. Something about the lack of crunch that never leaves me quite as satisfied as real food. But, for the last few weeks smoothies have been making a regular appearance in my diet. Not sure why, but I’m just going with it. And this smoothie in particular I have made multiple times now, so I decided it was time to share it with you folks. And you should be happy to know that pretty much whatever healing diet you are on, this smoothie should fit within your limitations. Because it is SCD, GAPS, AIP and Paleo compatible. It’s not very often I can post a recipe that meets all of these needs. You’re welcome.

And this smoothie not only contains fruit (bananas and oranges) and vegetables (squash or sweet potato) but it also contains healing ingredients like coconut, cinnamon and turmeric.

Cinnamon is a powerful little spice that can help regulate blood sugar, has anti-inflammatory effects, anti-bacterial properties, can help with brain function and reduce your risk of colon cancer (reference). Pretty impressive for such a delicious little spice isn’t it?

And turmeric (or curcumin) is another spice powerhouse. It has very strong anti-inflammatory properties and anti-oxidant effects and is useful for treating a number of diseases including arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, cancer, heart disease and neurological diseases (reference). 

As always I would be thrilled if you visited my social media pages including Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest.

    Thanks so much Kelly! I am rather jealous of your current weather! But luckily I am off to the lake tomorrow for 2 weeks of sunshine and relaxation. You have been so supportive and I really do appreciate all your warm wishes and prayers these last few months!
