Meet Your Anti-Inflammatory Smoothie

Nothing makes me happier than an anti-inflammatory smoothie with greens, berries, pea and rice protein (very hypoallergenic) and flax. Well, maybe containment of nuclear reactors in Japan, but that’s a topic for another day.

There’s a concept I have found to be particularly true that goes like this: We need to reduce our antigenic load. The more we eat whole foods, and dump the junk (gluten, dairy, sugar, alcohol, caffeine), the fewer antigens we get exposed to. When we’re exposed to fewer antigens, we’re less likely to get an overactivated immune system, or to have cross-reactivity with hormones (an example is autoimmune thyroiditis).

In the service of stabilizing blood sugar and reducing antigenic load, try the following anti-inflammatory smoothing. Green smoothies rock!
