This smoothie contains a good balance of protein, healthy fats, and antioxidants, which can help reduce inflammation and support hormonal balance. The chia seeds and ground flaxseeds provide omega-3 fatty acids, which have anti-inflammatory properties. Turmeric, cinnamon, and ginger are known for their anti-inflammatory effects, while berries add antioxidants and natural sweetness.
