These anti inflammation smoothies are packed with healing ingredients like berries, turmeric, leafy greens, and omega-3-rich fats. Calm inflammation and support optimal wellness and healthy aging, one colorful, delicious sip at a time!
What Actually Is an Anti Inflammation Smoothie?
As a registered dietitian, I get this question all the time. The answer? It’s all about the ingredients—what you put in and what you leave out.
An anti inflammation smoothie is more than just a colorful blend of fruits and vegetables. It’s a combo of whole, real foods that help fight inflammation at the cellular level.
✨ Key Players:
- Bright, antioxidant-packed fruits (hi berries + cherries!)
- Leafy greens for fiber and vitamins
- Healthy fats (think chia seeds, flax, and avocado)
- Power spices like turmeric and ginger
- Low-glycemic fruits and unsweetened milk or plant-based milk to keep blood sugar steady

Anti Inflammation Smoothies: The Recipes!
These aren’t your average green smoothies. Every one of these anti-inflammatory recipes is gluten-free, and almost all are vegetarian, or vegan (some recipes may contain collagen or honey), and totally crave-worthy. Several come from my blog, The Spicy RD, along with some of my favorites from fellow dietitians and food bloggers.
They pair beautifully with anti-inflammatory eating plans, such as the MIND, DASH, or Mediterranean diet.
