Anti Inflammatory Lemon Blueberry Smoothie

Prep Time:30 minutes Cook Time: 45 minutes Servings: 4 minutes

The kale, hemp seeds and green tea in this bright, lemony smoothie all contain antioxidants that can help fight inflammation. If you can’t find baby kale, baby spinach will work well in its place. Banana adds natural sweetness. If you want the smoothie a little sweeter, a touch of honey will do the trick.

  • 1 medium ripe banana, peeled and frozen
