Description
This smoothie is a refreshing version of golden milk. It’s sweet, tropical, ginger-y and warming from that turmeric. Plus it is packed with health benefits: aids in digestion, packed with vitamin c, anti-inflammatory properties, and healthy fats. So yum!
Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 cup dairy free milk (I like almond milk)
- 1 cup frozen pineapple chunks
- 1/2 cup banana that has been previously sliced and frozen
- 1 to 2 inches ginger, peeled and roughly chopped
- 2 teaspoons flax seed meal (or sub chia seeds)
- 1/2 to 1 teaspoons ground turmeric
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper*
Instructions
- Add all ingredients to a blender and blend on high until everything is smooth. Taste and adjust flavors as needed: for more sweetness add more banana, for more turmeric flavor add more turmeric etc. Serve immediately. NOTE: If you have blender that is not high powered then you can add the frozen fruit 1/2 a cup at a time blending until smooth in between.
Notes
*Black pepper sounds like a strange ingredient but it helps our bodies absorb turmeric, don’t skip it. Same with the health fats of the flax seeds. 🙂
