Allergy Fighting Turmeric Twist Smoothie

This one targets allergies – hay fever’s sneezes and sniffles are the worst! Turmeric’s powerful active compound, curcumin, may help prevent histamine release, which might reduce allergy symptoms.

Mango, high in the antioxidant vitamin C, supports normal histamine levels that often lead to congestion when elevated.

Hemp seeds are a good source of magnesium, also thought to be useful in controlling allergic reactions.
