The Unexpected Smoothie Ingredient That Fights Bloat

The Unexpected Smoothie Ingredient That Fights Bloat

Where has this been all our lives?!

When you hear the word "turmeric," you probably (1) Google it to find out what the heck it is, and (2) wonder why anyone would ever put it in a smoothie. Here's the reason: It's an antioxidant with anti-inflammatory properties that help relieve bloating. Oh, and it tastes pretty freaking amazing, too. Find out how nine Instagrammers used the spice in their smoothies.


We could really use a tall glass of this turmeric, kale, pumpkin, and green apple smoothie right about now.
 


This turmeric, banana, lime, ginger, pineapple, passion fruit, orange juice, goji berry, and chia seed concoction needs to be in our bellies ASAP!
 


There's something about this turmeric, ginger, cardamom, mango, cinnamon, banana, orange juice, and oat milk smoothie that just makes us smile.
 


The chef behind this turmeric, pumpkin, chia seed, nutmeg, ginger, cinnamon, banana, and coconut smoothie describes it best: "very interesting!"
 


Who could say "no" to a turmeric, cilantro, cucumber, celery, apple, ginger, and parsley drink?
 


Mix up turmeric, ginger, carrot, orange, fennel, apple, lemon, and pomelo to recreate this colorful smoothie at home.
