The inspiration for this smoothie came to me one morning when I was feeling particularly sluggish. I had been working long hours and not getting enough sleep, and I was starting to feel the effects. I knew I needed something to give me a boost of energy and nutrients, but I didn't want to reach for a sugary drink or processed food. So I decided to make a smoothie with some of my favorite antioxidant-rich ingredients. I added blueberries, raspberries, spinach, Greek yogurt, chia seeds, and turmeric. The result was a delicious and nutritious smoothie that gave me the energy boost I needed. I've been making this smoothie every morning since, and I always feel great afterwards.
