Anti-inflammatory Chocolate Smoothie
Created for my Inflammation episode of The Exam Room Podcast with Dr. Jim Loomis and Chuck Carrol, this is a DELICIOUS chocolate-y cup of love you can start your day off! It's packed with anti-inflammatory foods to help fight chronic inflammation. I have also kept this somewhat low on the calorie scale which is why you will not see added seeds, avocado or nut butters.
Also -this was a challenge brought on to me by the guys, so I literally threw a log of highly anti-inflammatory ingredients I had here at the shop and boy, did it work out!! I don't have exact measurements for this, please play around with it.
This is the Cheezy Whiz recipe I also made for the show.
