Vanilla Collagen & Turmeric Smoothie: My Kid’s Favorite
This smoothie is a creamy, rich smoothie with sweetness from the vanilla and a hint of spiciness from the turmeric, ginger, and black pepper. The turmeric and the black pepper act as a powerful anti-inflammatory, while ginger has been proven to be as effective as ibuprofen for pain relief and inflammation.

1 tsp. ground ginger
2 cranks of fresh ground pepper
1/4 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 frozen banana
3 ice cubes, optional
Instructions:
1. Blend in a high-speed blender, start on low for 15 seconds and then blend on high for 30 seconds or until smooth. If you don’t have a high-speed blender, let the banana defrost five to 10 minutes or add a fresh banana and 1-2 ice cubes.

I celebrated 12 years of being of sober at the beginning of May. It’s not something I share often, but this is the deeper why to my mocktails and the reason that I create them. Sobriety gives me the clarity to tune into myself in order to create. If you are part of my community on Instagram, you know that I make fancy mocktails.
However, what I drink regularly is a simple mocktail made with apple cider vinegar, a dropper full of Belly Love tincture from Anima Mundi, a dash of orange bitters, and I top it with seltzer. If you like the tartness of apple cider vinegar, you will love this! Try the Weekday Mocktail
