Jordanna's tip
Fresh turmeric, black pepper & olive oil make a wonderful trio & powerful anti-inflammatory boost. Black pepper helps your body absorb more of turmeric's natural curcumin, while olive oil supports the absorption of both. Blend with chilled ingredients & enjoy as part of your breakfast or afternoon pick-me-up.
Nourish your body with colourful, wholesome ingredients—one glass at a time.
