Turmeric apple smoothie
What would an anti-inflammatory smoothie roundup be without turmeric? And it isn't the only anti-inflammatory spice in this smoothie either: Ginger is also incorporated.
#1
Carrot cake smoothie
This carrot cake smoothie is made with classic fall spices—cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg—but instead of pairing them with pumpkin, carrots serve as the main ingredient instead.
#2
Apple pie smoothie
This apple pie smoothie is definitely worth making next time you're trying to figure out what to do with your fall apple haul. Ginger, nutmeg, and cardamom give it a warming flavor profile while Greek yogurt adds both creaminess and protein.
#3
Beet smoothie
Not only are beets in peak season during fall, they're also linked to helping with athletic performance, so if you're hitting the gym regularly or training for a marathon, this is a great post-workout smoothie.
#4
Cranberry smoothie
Here, the berries are combined with walnuts (a great nut for heart health), cinnamon, and maple syrup—all of which play up the fall vibes while balancing out the fruit's tartness perfectly.
#5
Fig & honey smoothie
Figs are an often-overlooked smoothie ingredient, but look how gorgeous they can make your bev. Figs are also packed with fiber, a key nutrient for keeping chronic inflammation away.
#6
Sweet potato & banana smoothie
This carrot cake smoothie is made with classic fall spices—cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg—but instead of pairing them with pumpkin, carrots serve as the main ingredient instead.
#7
Fig & cinnamon smoothie
Can we just take a second and appreciate how gorgeous figs are? This smoothie only takes six ingredients and five minutes to make. It's straight-up full of fiber too, due to the figs, rolled oats, and flaxseeds.
#8
Almond pear smoothie
If apple smoothies are too sweet for your liking, try using pears, which have a more subtle sweetness. The other ingredients used to make this smoothie read like a delicious cookie recipe: oats, almond butter, ginger, cinnamon, and nutmeg among them.
#9
Butternut squash & mango smoothie
Butternut squash is another seasonal fave that offers up a slightly different flavor profile. The key to incorporating it into your smoothie is balancing it out with an ingredient that's a bit sweeter—here, that means mango.
