Gastro-Relief Herbal Smoothie

1Prepare the chamomile infusion by steeping the chamomile flowers or tea bag in 1/4 cup of hot water for 5 minutes. Strain and allow to cool completely.

2Peel and slice the banana, ensuring it is ripe to avoid acidity.

3Peel and grate fresh ginger root (1 tablespoon) to measure 1 tablespoon.

4In a blender, combine the unsweetened almond milk (1 cup), plain Greek yogurt (½ cup), sliced banana, fresh aloe vera gel (¼ cup), grated ginger, cooled chamomile infusion, ground fennel seeds (½ teaspoon), ground turmeric (¼ teaspoon), and a pinch of cinnamon.

5Add honey if a slightly sweeter taste is desired, keeping in mind to avoid excessive sweetness that could trigger reflux.

6Add ice cubes if a chilled smoothie is preferred.

7Blend all ingredients on high speed until smooth and creamy, about 30-45 seconds.

8Pour into a glass and serve immediately for best freshness and soothing effect.
