In today's fast-paced world, prioritizing our health has never been more crucial. With the abundance of processed foods and stress-inducing lifestyles, it's essential to incorporate simple yet powerful habits that promote well-being. One such habit is nourishing our bodies with wholesome, nutrient-rich foods that support overall health. Among these, green smoothies stand out as a vibrant and delicious way to infuse our bodies with essential vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. But what if your green smoothie could do even more? Imagine a concoction that not only tantalizes your taste buds but also serves as a potent weapon against inflammation—a key contributor to many chronic diseases and is high in protein too? Today, we're diving into our anti-inflammatory green smoothie recipe with collagen from our 30-Day Anti-Inflammatory Meal Plan. After drinking it, not only will you have the luck of the Irish, but you'll feel amazing too!

How to Eat More Anti-Inflammatory Foods
Eating anti-inflammatory isn't difficult, rather it just take mindful tweaks, like making time to grocery shop whole foods rather than fast foods. The goal is to choose more whole and unprocessed foods whenever possible. This includes fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts, seeds, and legumes. These foods are rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that help combat inflammation. Also, load up on fruits and vegetables as much as possible (as listed in all of our smoothie recipes) or keep it real simple by following our 30-Day Anti-Inflammatory Meal Plan or any of our 30-Day High-Protein and Nutrient-Dense Meal Plans. Aim to fill half your plate with fruits and vegetables at each meal. Berries, leafy greens, tomatoes, peppers, and cruciferous vegetables like broccoli and Brussels sprouts are particularly rich in anti-inflammatory compounds. Like any new habit, it'll take an adjustment time, but you will feel the benefits immediately!
