Luckily, there are easy ways to prep a quick breakfast that’ll satisfy your appetite while on-the-go.

We’ve gathered some great anti-inflammatory breakfast smoothie recipes that doctors and other health experts swear by for weight loss results. From fruity to vegetable flavors, we’ve got plenty of options for you to try out this week!
Blueberry smoothies make for both a healthy and delicious smoothie. According to WebMD, blueberries are a beneficial fruit that contain anti-inflammatory properties. If you want to try a blueberry smoothie for yourself then we recommend this Anti-Inflammatory Blueberry Smoothie recipe from Lemons + Zest. The recommended ingredients for this recipe include blueberries, frozen bananas, spinach or leafy greens, almond butter, almond milk, cinnamon, cayenne, and maca powder.
Another great fruity anti-inflammatory smoothie flavor is pineapple. According to Dr. Josh Axe, pineapple contains an enzyme called bromelain which has anti-inflammatory agents. To get all of the best nutrients from the juicy pineapple fruit we suggest trying this Anti-Inflammatory Turmeric Pineapple Smoothie recipe from Wicked Spatula. The yummy smoothie recipe can be prepared in about five minutes and only requires six ingredients.
Now, let’s move on from fruity smoothies and let’s turn to vegetable flavors. Health expert Dr. Branko Prpa says that carrots can help reduce inflammation. “Like many ‘deep-colored’ vegetables, carrots possess a ton of nutrients that can help fight inflammation and chronic back pain,” Prpa says. “Try adding chopped carrots to your salad or snacking on baby carrots.” We recommend even using carrots as an ingredient in a smoothie, just like this Carrot Ginger Smoothie recipe from The Roasted Root calls for.
Another perfect anti-inflammatory vegetable to add to smoothies is either kale or spinach. According to Harvard Health, both kale and spinach have anti-inflammatory properties. If you’re dying to get all of your greens in then we recommend this super easy Glowing Goddess Green Detox Smoothie from Food Fit For Life.
