Curcumin is a powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory compound found in the turmeric root plant, a spice commonly used in Indian and Middle Eastern cuisine, but now very prevalent in the natural supplements space due to it's high antioxidant properties.

We believe adding curcumin to your smoothies is an easy and delicious way to incorporate this potent compound into your diet. However, the "delicious" part is the tricky part, because many of us don't associate our morning or post-workout smoothies flavor profile with that of a Indian spice flavor. That is exactly why we created BBfL's Lifestyle Turmeric Curcumin cream. "How does that taste?" you might be wondering. Well, when we created it, we kept flavor and functionality at the top of  our priority list. Therefore, you not only get the flavor of what many would describe as a "creamy chai cinnamon flavor" or others say it's like a "Fall like eggnog" flavor. Regardless, we maintained the potency of the Turmeric and Curcumin in each serving too.

Here are some of the reasons why you should consider adding curcumin to your smoothie protein routine:

1. Anti-inflammatory properties: Curcumin has been shown to have strong anti-inflammatory properties. As documented in many health journals, studies, and medical resources, these conditions include arthritis, heart disease, joint pain, and many more.
