Ginger Melon Smoothie

Our smoothie-master, Geoff, has done it again.

This is a super-refreshing, nutrient-packed smoothie with minimal ingredients that really easy to make.

You may notice that a lot of our smoothies include turmeric. That’s because turmeric is a great anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant. Check out this article at Healthline – 10 Proven Health Benefits of Turmeric and Curcumin
