My neuro says one reason smoothies cool so well is bc when you drink, the cold travels alongside your spinal column, helping relieve inflammation.
Well, plus it tastes good, so you wanna drink more! Here's a fancy one — I'm sure you can leave out an ingredient or two and it's still yummy —
Mango, Pineapple, & Peach Chia Seed Smoothie
2½ cups unsweetened refrigerated coconut milk beverage
1 cup frozen mango chunks
1 cup frozen sliced peaches
¾ cup frozen pineapple chunks
½ cup whole-milk plain strained (Greek-style) yogurt
⅓ cup chopped pitted Medjool dates (about 3 medium dates)
2 tablespoons chia seeds
1½ teaspoons grated fresh ginger
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
Directions: Combine 2½ cups coconut milk beverage, 1 cup mango, 1 cup peaches, ¾ cup pineapple, ½ cup yogurt, ⅓ cup dates, 2 tablespoons chia seeds, 1½ teaspoons ginger and 1 teaspoon turmeric in a blender; process until smooth, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed, about 2 minutes. Divide between 2 large glasses.
