Anti-Inflammatory Smoothie with Dill
I love having a green smoothie for breakfast. There are so many amazing ingredients that you can combine to kick-start your day and give your body a super boost of energy. This is definitely one of my favorite green smoothie recipes. In addition to being out of this world delicious, it also contains pineapple, avocado, cucumber, turmeric & ginger & all insanely powerful at reducing inflammation and that dreaded belly bloat. But the most unusual (and crazy delicious) ingredient in this green smoothie is DILL. Here's just a few reasons why I love adding a little dill to my green smoothies: 1. Dill is an awesome herb to reduce stress. It contains Carvone which has been shown to calm the nervous system and ease the mind. For this reason, it is also a powerful food for those suffering from insomnia. 2. It supports proper digestion by stimulating bile and digestive juices found in the stomach. 3. Dill contains a good amount of calcium and is therefore a great food for people with rheumatoid arthritis and for anyone looking to support bone and joint health. 4. This herb is a powerful anti-oxidant. Studies have shown that Dill activates the enzyme glutathione-S-transferase which increases your antioxidant potential and reduces free radicals in the body. Dill is a great anti-carcinogen and helps to reduce toxic load in the body. 5. Dill offers relief of headaches and cramping during menstruation by increasing blood flow, reducing pressure and relaxing muscle spasms. This powerful combination of anti-inflammatory fruits and vegetables help support digestion, reduce muscle and joint ache, and support both the liver and kidneys to effectively eliminate toxins from your body. So heres the recipe!

Most cooks drop frozen fruit straight into a dry blender and burn out the motor before the blades even catch. Achieving a completely smooth beverage from fibrous roots and leafy greens requires loading the canister in a specific sequence. Liquids must always go in first, creating a vortex that pulls solid pieces down toward the blades without requiring constant intervention from a tamper. Soft items like spinach and peeled avocado sit directly above the liquid, followed by dense items like pear and celery, and hard rhizomes such as fresh ginger and turmeric rest at the very top. Fresh ingredients behave entirely differently than preserved or dried alternatives. Raw turmeric root provides volatile oils and bright aromatics that ground powder simply cannot replicate, though the dried spice can be substituted at a ratio of one quarter teaspoon for every half thumb of fresh root. Fresh dill introduces grassy, clean notes that fade rapidly if the herb is bruised hours ahead of time, so chop it right before blending. High-speed blenders operating at a minimum of twenty thousand revolutions per minute are necessary to rupture the cellular walls of fibrous stalks and spinach leaves entirely. Run the motor on high for forty-five seconds to achieve a uniform, creamy texture devoid of lingering vegetable pulp. If the mixture remains too thick to circulate properly, add cold water two tablespoons at a time through the lid opening while the blades spin.
