Hey there! I’m Coach Sofia. Super glad you’re here and thank you so much for visiting my website and downloading this resource. I’m sure you’ll enjoy the recipes here. I started my blog coachsofiafitness.com to help you conquer back pain naturally. You don’t have to take toxic drugs forever because there is a way out through an anti-inflammatory nutrition and corrective exercises. I’m not one of those fitness coaches who’s just gonna
tell you what to do and pretend to know what you’re going through. I KNOW what you’re going through because I’ve been where you’re at. I battled chronic pain for 7 years and almost went on disability because I couldn’t function anymore. I was diagnosed with piriformis syndrome, an L5/S1 disc herniation and ankylosing spondylitis (a rare spinal arthritic condition) all in few years and my body was fighting itself. Strength training, corrective exercises, and anti-inflammatory nutrition gave me my life back. Throughout the past years, I came up with some powerful smoothie packed with anti-inflammatory nutrients. I’d encourage you to make a smoothie once a day to get into the habit of it. You can totally add more of whichever ingredients in the recipes. The ingredients are only my suggestions and you are free to use them as you wish. PS: Please keep in mind that some of these smoothies are not that sweet, and I don’t add any sugar because sugar increases inflammation in the body. So if you want to add sweetness, you can add an apple or stevia. Few tips here: • Use fruits to sweeten and avoid artificial sweeteners and regular sugar. • Feel free to add almond milk, coconut milk, coconut water, fresh juice as you wish. • The collagen protein is optional - collagen has amazing healing properties. This is the brand I use. • You can make double the amount and store the rest for the next day

Just a quick note. Don’t be afraid to mix new ingredients together and adjust the recipes to your taste. I personally love to add turmeric, lots of greens and a piece of fruit to add sweetness. Aloe vera has been an amazing addition to my diet as well. It has powerful healing properties that help regenerate bones. There are many Aloe vera juices on Amazon you can check out. I hope that you enjoyed this e-book. Let me know if you have any questions or need further direction with anything :)
