I woke up with a bladder infection this morning oww-iee owiee ow-iee :(
But as I was mixing up my magical potion that I swear by, I thought I should at least share. I'm not a doctor, but this smoothie has been great when I've felt a bladder infection coming on - and it's super yummy too!

We've all heard that cranberries are great to add to the diet when dealing with bladder infections and they are, but did you realize that blueberries can be too? And pineapple and Vitamin C. So this recipe has it all, and is absolutely delicious too!

The Smoothie Bladder Infections hate
BERRY SMOOTHIE
1 cup water
1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
1 cup fresh or frozen pineapple pieces
1 cup dark leafy greens
1/2 cup fresh or frozen cranberries
1 tablespoon flaxseed oil
1 tablespoon freshly ground chia seeds
1 teaspoon ascorbic acid (Vitamin C)
If you use fresh fruit, add 1/2 cup of ice
Place all ingredients together in blender, mix and serve.

Here's the other thing I like to do--take pure lavendar oil or cinnamon oil (diluted 1:4 with coconut oil or jajoba oil) and rub it on the stomach a few times a day. If the oil is safe to be ingested (depends on the brand) you can also take one drop in liquid a few times a day as well.
.
These are just my opinions, though, so of course check with a doctor right away if you have a bladder infection that's lasted more than two days.
.
But bladder infection or not, this smoothie is delicous and super loaded with nutrients and a great addition to any day!
.
Enjoy!
