Anti-inflammatory Ginger Peach Smoothie


Peach season is coming up, so what could possibly taste better than some fresh peaches? They have such a wonderful flavour I almost feel spoiled eating them. You can even freeze the peaches before hand if you please and make this smoothie have a colder touch to it. 

Peaches are rich in many vital minerals such as potassium, fluoride and iron. Iron is required for red blood cell formation. Fluoride is a component of bones and teeth and is essential for prevention of dental caries. Potassium is an important component of cell and body fluids that help regulate heart rate and blood pressure.

Pineapples contain bromelain enzyme which is a powerful anti-inflammatory (read all about it HERE). This famous pain relieving enzyme has been synthesized and isolated into supplements to treat inflammation and pain naturally. Ginger contains very powerful anti-inflammatory compounds called gingerols. These substances are believed to explain why so many people with osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis experience reductions in their pain levels and improvements in their mobility when they consume ginger regularly.


If you want an amazing blender, I highly suggest you purchase a vitamix! It makes the smoothest, most creamiest smoothies, raw soups and sauces I have ever experienced! If you purchase a vitamix through Live Love Fruit, you will get FREE shipping and handling! Click HERE to purchase.

Ingredients:
- 2 cups ripe pineapple
- 1 large piece ginger (I use around 3-4 inches)
- 4 ripe peaches, pits removed
- 1 cup young thai coconut water (you can use the coconut meat too if you are using an actual coconut)

Put the ingredients into a blender and pulse blend for 15-30 seconds! Enjoy!

    Thank you for this recipe. Love Your Blog!! Fantastic Recipes! :)

    One thing I wanted to point out that Fluoride is not something that is consider good for you and most certainly not essential.

    Below is a documentary that takes you through a journey about fluoride and how a class-4 hazardous waste product has made its way into community water supplies.
