There are many smoothies I like to drink, but not all of them are friendly to my sensitive stomach. Many of them cause a flare in body aches, headaches, and stomach issues. In order to drink the smoothies I like, but keep it from harming my body, I created some of my own fibro-friendly beverages. Here’s the inflammatory busting smoothie that I hope you enjoy!

Hi Brandi,
I made your recipe of smoothie this morning but replacing the pineapple juice with Low Fatt milk n a scoop of Greek yoghurt. The taste was too good n I named it Strawberry Tango.
Thank you!
Woohoo!! Greek yogurt is loaded with good protein and that’s important for our fibro bodies. Pineapple juice is so tasty!! I could put it in just about anything!
