The Anti-Inflammatory Smoothie

Mornings at MARGO’S are all about rituals that work for you, not against you. This smoothie has become a daily staple for me because every ingredient has a purpose.

What’s Inside

• ½ cup organic tart cherry juice – reduces inflammation and supports muscle recovery.

• 2 scoops organic plain Greek yogurt – for protein, probiotics, and healthy fats.

• 1 scoop coconut oil – healthy fats to keep your hormones happy and your energy steady.

• 1 cup mixed frozen berries – antioxidants, roughage, and natural sweetness.

• ½ banana (or avocado) – creaminess.

• 1 tbsp flax seed – fiber + omega-3s for digestion and skin health.

• 1 tbsp chia seeds – fiber, protein, hydration and texture.

• 1 drizzle honey – natural sweetness with a dose of minerals.

• Add ice or water – depending on whether you like it thick and spoonable or smooth and sippable.

Why It Works

This blend is your body’s best friend. The tart cherry juice helps your muscles recover and your mind unwind, while the fats from coconut oil and seeds keep your blood sugar stable. This means fewer crashes, fewer cravings, and a steadier mood throughout the morning.

Think of it as a hormone-friendly hug in a glass: balancing carbs, protein, and fat so your energy flows evenly instead of spiking and crashing.

How to Make It Yours

You can swap the Greek yogurt for a dairy-free version if needed, or trade the honey for a date or a drizzle of maple syrup. Blend it up, pour it into your favorite glass, and take it outside if you can to get your morning sun.
